An arch and a mausoleum, known as « Les Antiques », were for hundreds of years the only visible remains of Glanum, near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. There, at the foot of the Alpilles, archaeologists have brought to light the remains of a « golden age » : during the 2nd century BC the inhabitants, Celto-Ligurian Salluvians, built, around a healing and sacred spring, a town infused with Hellenistic culture. The Roman conquest, however, imposed different archetypes and, gradually, the cult of the spring was replaced by that of the Emperor.
