Glanum Mausoleum of the Julii, France Alpilles, Bouches-du-Rhône département, about 20 km (12 mi) south of Avignon
Glanum was an oppidum, or fortified town in present day Provence, founded by a Celto-Ligurian people called the Salyens in the 6th century BCE.[1] It became officially a Roman city in 27 BCE and was abandoned in 260 AD. It is located on the flanks of the Alpilles, a range of mountains in the Bouches-du-Rhône département, about 20 km (12 mi) south of the modern city of Avignon, and a kilometre south of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. It is particularly known for two well-preserved Roman monuments of the 1st century , known as les Antiques, a mausoleum and a triumphal arch (the oldest in France).
