Glanum - De l'oppidum salyen à la cité latine

Description

An arch and a mausoleum, known as the 'Antiques', were for a long time the only visible remains of Glanum, near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. There, on the slopes of the Alpilles, archaeologists have uncovered traces of a unique civilisation at the height of its glory in the 2nd century BC: the Glaniques, a Celto-Ligurian Salyan tribe, had built a city steeped in Hellenism around a sacred healing spring. But the Roman conquest imposed other models, and little by little, the cult of the spring was supplanted by that of the emperor.
