Michel Auguste Martin Agénor Azéma de Montgravier (28 October 1805, in Béziers – 14 September 1863, in Montpellier) was a French archaeologist and soldier.
Promoted to lieutenant in 1831, captain in 1837 and then Chef d'escadron (Major or Commandant) in 1850, he completed his military career as deputy director of the Ecole d'Artillerie de Montpellier,[1] to which he was appointed in 1859.
[4] He was an active member of the Société Historique Algérienne, and copied and published many ancient stone inscriptions discovered during his missions.
[5] His contribution to North African Archaeology led to him being elected corresponding member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres[2] on 27 December 1850.
At the end of his life, he carried out excavations at the Roman ruins of Murviel-les-Montpellier on behalf of the Commission de la Carte des Gaules.
