On our way to Marseille Saturday, we stopped by the ruins of the Roman city of Glanum, located just outside St Rémy de Provence.
The city began as a Celto-Ligurian fortified settlement between the 4th and 2nd centuries BC before coming under Greek influence and then becoming a Roman city around 27 BC. The town was abandoned in 260 AD when it was overrun by foreign tribes.
