Description
The Roman Provence Guide by Edwin Mullins explores the region's rich history and hidden traces of its ancient world. From Julius Caesar's description of Provence as "the Province of Rome" to the transformation of Provençal cities into imitations of Rome, Mullins delves into the story of how the Romans came to invade and colonize the area. The book also examines the Roman achievements in various aspects of life, including triumphal arches, aqueducts, farming, city life, bridges and road-building, temples and shrines, and theaters and amphitheaters. With separate chapters on lesser-known sites and a focus on the region's history, this guide provides an in-depth look at Roman Provence. By uncovering the secrets of ancient Rome in southern France, Mullins offers a unique perspective on the region's past and its enduring legacy.
