The settlement of Glanum (Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône), occupied from the Bronze Age until the 3rd century AD, according to the currently accepted chronology, constitutes an ornamental and architectural reference in Provence, for its so-called "pre-Roman" period. However, inconsistencies between chronology (3rd-2nd century BC) and its architectural ornamentation (italic reference) remain.
The monumental center of the "pre-Roman" agglomeration is attributed to the Greek populations of Marseille by Henri Rolland, the main excavator of the archaeological site, while Anne Roth-Congès proposes to return the agglomeration to the local indigenous populations. We chose to study the central zone of the currently excavated site, to discern the ornamental influences of the public architecture and to define who inhabited the city, who was at the origin of its monumentalization and what was its administrative status at the time.
During the imperial period, the forum was built on an embankment, allowing for the construction of a large platform that allowed for the preservation of earlier monumental buildings and their associated architectural furnishings. We had the opportunity to conduct a small-scale archaeological excavation in this area. Studies of the stratigraphy and ceramic furnishings now allow for a new chronology that can resolve at least some earlier inconsistencies.
The study of the architectural furnishings shows a broad Italic influence but with its own characteristics, inspired by oriental decorations. The examination of the preserved remains highlights the same phenomenon with an adaptation of classical plans to the topography of the agglomeration. Finally, the status of the agglomeration remains difficult to decipher, but it is part of the framework of the Roman administration which was established during the 1st century BC .
