The spot where it was dug up is in the heart of the ancient as well as of the modern town, close to the probable site of the Forum, and the inscription may have been fastened up in all its length on the walls of some public building.

If, as is likely, the town owned the soil of the town, the connexion of the inscription with the Forum becomes even clearer.

In any case, the town was plainly laid out in a rectangular street-plan.

To-day its lanes are as tortuous as those of any other Provencal town.[94] A strange chance reveals what it and many other of these towns must once have been.
[94] It has been said to show marks of streets laid out rectangularly, but neither the look of the town itself nor the plans of it seem to me to confirm this idea; compare Lentheric, _Le Rhone_, ii.
