Origin and history

The Gallo-Roman villa of the Trébillanne, located in Cabries in the Bouches-du-Rhône (region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), is an emblematic monument of the Gallo-Roman period. This archaeological site bears witness to the Roman occupation in the south of Gaul, with remains and soil protected by a ministerial decree. Its exact address, 56 Rue Aurelienne, is documented in the Mérimée base, although the accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory (note 7/10).

Classified as a Historical Monument, the villa illustrates the domestic and agricultural architecture of the Gallo-Roman period. The protected elements specifically include the soil and remains, inscribed by order of 7 April 1992. These protections highlight the heritage importance of the site, although the practical information about its visit or access remains undetailed in the available sources.

The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, rich in ancient remains, houses many similar sites, reflecting the lasting influence of Rome on the conquered territories. The villa of La Trébillanne is part of this broader context, where the villæ served as economic and residential centres for local elites or Roman settlers. Their spatial organization and their functions (agricultural, artisanal or residential) offer keys to understanding the novelization of Narbonnaise.
