I know what you're thinking, you think that the Roman's built the village, don't you? WRONG!!! First it belonged to the Celts, (by the way, I don't know who the Celts are), then the Greeks took over the village, then the Roman's conquered it.
The village has a Triumphal Arch. They used the arch for telling the Gauls (their enemies), that the Romans were important - 'hump', show offs!
The three pools were like the baths. The temperatures were: tepdarium (normal), caldarium (hot), and frigidarium (cold).
The village has a special well where you walk down to the water on stone steps. The well was special because people thought that the water had healing powers.
There is also a building around a courtyard, called a Forum. This is the place where they had meetings to make decisions about the town.
The houses were different. If you were rich you'd have a rain tank, cooking stuff, and an inside courtyard. If you were poor, your house would be rain 'tankless', cooking free, and there would be no courtyard.
One of the temples was built to worship Augustus' son-in-law.
If I lived in Glanum, I would want to be rich, because I would get a better life.

Does that mean if you were poor you would have to collect your water from a well and go to some communal kitchen to cook the meals?
Boy, it must have been hard work for the girls/women in those days because they did all the work!
Those Romans travelled and conquered everywhere. Were they very good sailors? If they knew about New Zealand they would have been here too!
Yes they were good sailors.The poor went out to shop.
