Roman Gaul, specifically the area of southern France that today includes Provence, proved to be an important repository of Roman culture. Gallic writers long kept the classical Roman literary tradition alive, and many of the amphitheaters, aqueducts, and other Roman works built in Gaul still stand.
Christopher Gregg, a professor in the department of history and art history at George Mason University, explores the history and the physical remains of various sites, including the Amphitheater of the Three Gauls, the Barbegal watermill (the only known large-scale Roman milling facility), a remarkably preserved cargo ship from the Rhone, and a variety of beautiful sculptures and mosaics.
