NEMAUSUS (the modern Nimes), a city of Gallia Narbonensis, was the capital of the Volcae Arecomici, and was situated on the road between Italy and Iberia. As early as the reign of Augustus it was a colonia; and in the days of Strabo it possessed the Jus Latii, and was on that account independent of the Roman governors. The territory of Nemausus comprised twenty-four populous villages. Its most notable product was cheese, which was exported to Rome. There are still remaining many striking monuments of the splendour of the ancient city of Nemausus. The principal of these are a spacious amphitheatre, a temple called the Maison Carée, a structure known as the Tour Magne, and the famous Roman aqueduct, named the Pont du Gard. (See NIMES.)
