When the Celtic army looted the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, brought over nearly 70 tons of gold objects. But soon after his return to Toulouse, the troupe of warriors was suddenly hit by an epidemic that decimated its ranks. Persuaded that they had been victims of the wrath of Apollo, the Celts then threw this "cursed gold" in a lake around the current Toulouse. A few centuries later, the consul Cepion seized a portion of the treasure to bring him back to Rome, without taking care of the curse. But during the transfer, part of the treasure mysteriously evaporated, and the consul was accused of stealing it ... He was then deprived of his Roman citizenship and condemned to exile: the curse of Apollo seemed to have struck again!Legend of Toulouse
