Description
Arausio covered an area of some 170 acres (69 ha) and was well endowed with civic monuments; in addition to the theatre and arch, it had a monumental temple complex and a forum.
It was the capital of a wide area of northern Provence, which was parcelled up into lots for the Roman colonists.
