History

Saint Rémy de Provence is a typical Provençal town, proud of its prestigious Roman remains unearthed during excavations in 1921 on the Glanum and Aniques sites.
On the Antiques plateau stands a cenotaph (A Roman monument erected in hommage to a deceased individual) in excellent state or preservation.

This little jewel of Roman art dates back to the very first years of our era. According to the inscription on the freize, in all likelihood it is dedicated to the memory of Caius and Lucius, the grandsons of the Emperor Augustus
