Originally a Celto‐Ligurian oppidum , Glanum later became a city within Gallia Narbonensis and a station on the Via Domitia east of the Rhone. Pliny the Elder, Ptolemy, and ancient itineraries all mention the site. It is named for the Celtic god Glan, who was linked to a healing spring. Famous for the ruins known as “Les Antiques” (a mausoleum and arch), the site has been excavated since 1921, mainly by H. Rolland in the period 1942–69.
