Mouth of the Rhône River at ArlesMouth of the Rhône River on the Mediterranean coast (Athena Review Image Archive) | ||
Arles (Roman Arelate) sits at the southernmost crossing of
the Rhône River along several Roman roads (shown as grey lines). These
included two north-south routes linking Cologne (Colonia Agrippinensis)
with Marseille (Massilia), and Aix-en Provence (Aquae Sextiae); and the
Via Domitia, a major east-west road skirting the southern coast of Gaul
between northern Italy and Spain. Mountainous terrain in southern Gaul served to confine major roads within riverine and coastal strips (light gray areas). Those regions shown in light red on the map are above 200 meters elevation. . |
