Roman Glanum

Triumphal Arch, BC 10-25

 

Mausoleum Julii from BC 40

We visited Glanum at St Remy. The full archeological site would have been a large cost for small return for the 6 of us, so we looked in from the outside of the fence but this magnificent mausoleum can be approached close-up for free. Likewise the remains of the Triumphal Arch. According to Wikipedia, these Julii took that name when they became citizens, and I think it's not a co-incidence that they thought aligning themselves with J.Caesar's folk would be socially helpful. 

Snails

At the micro end of archaeology I found the snail infestations an excellent foil.
