France,Glanum, Mausoleum, Exterior: The top of the monument reminds one of a round temple or tholos

Subsequent relations with the Greek world brought wealth yo the inhabitants og Glanum, resultng in the extension of the inhabited zone and the constraction of buildings in the Hellenistic style in the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. Then Glanum became a Roman colony in the very early years og Augustus reign. This resulted in the rapid profound transformation of the city's monumental architecture.
