The well-preserved Mausoleum of Glanum

The Mausoleum of Glanum is a Gallo-Roman monument located south of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, standing outside the pomerium of the city of Glanum, now an archaeological site. It was built between 40 BC and 20 BC during the late Roman Republic, making it one of the best-preserved Roman structures in the world.

The mausoleum bears a Latin inscription: SEX(tus) M(arcus) L(ucius) IVLIEI C(aii) •F(ilii) PARENTIBVS SVEIS. This has been interpreted as a cenotaph erected in memory of a man of the Julii family, who would have been granted citizenship and his name by Julius Caesar for his service in the Roman army, following the conquest of Gaul. Alternatively, Henri Rolland suggested it was a mausoleum dedicated to the memory of Gaius Caesar and Lucius Caesar, grandsons of the emperor Augustus.

The Mausoleum of Glanum is the subject of a classification as a historical monument by the List of 1840 and forms part of what is traditionally called the "Antiques of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence" along with the Arc de Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
