Roman Ruins
- Glanum Dam and Aqueduct
- The Glanum Dam is the earliest known Roman Dam in Gaul. It was an arched Dam. It consisted of two stone 3.3 ft wide walls, built in a curve, with a 4ft 9inch gap between thought to have been filled with rubble. The Dam was 20 ft high (6m) and 11 ft (3.5m) thick. The Dam blocked a gorge with steep sides. The water was carried via an aqueduct to Glanum, for its Fountains and Public Baths.
- Today, a modern Dam has been built on the identical site, destroying the old Roman Dam.
