Comment

Glanum is a sanctuary town at the crossroads of two ancient routes linking Italy and Spain, one via the Alps. Located south of the town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, in the direction of Les Baux-de-Provence, the town lies at the entrance to a rocky defile leading to Mount Gaussier. At the entrance to the site, on the other side of the departmental road, you can see the Cenotaph of the Iulii (wrongly called the mausoleum) and the Arc de Triomphe de Glanum, just a few metres away, traditionally known as the "Antiques of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence". https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glanum
