Agde - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | AGDE, a town of southern France, in the department of Herault, on the left bank of the river of that name, 2 1/2 m. |
 | | Agde is a place of great antiquity and is said to have been founded under the name of agathe polis (Good City) by the Phocaeans. |
 | | The canons of Agde are based in part on earlier Gallic, African and Spanish legislation; and some of them were re-enacted by later councils, and found their way into collections such as the Hispana, Pseudo-Isidore and Gratian. |
