Comments

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

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Glanum est une ville sanctuaire au carrefour de deux voies antiques reliant l'Italie à l'Espagne, l'une par les Alpes. Située au sud de la ville de Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, en direction des Baux-de-Provence, la cité s'étend à l'entrée d'un défilé rocheux qui mène au mont Gaussier. À l’entrée du site, de l'autre côté de la route départementale, on aperçoit le cénotaphe des Iulii (dit à tort mausolée) et l'Arc de triomphe de Glanum, voisin de quelques mètres, qu'on appelle traditionnellement les « Antiques de Saint-Rémy-de-Provence ». https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glanum
