Ernaginum, Roman way station and archaeological site in Tarascon, France

The remains of Ernaginum extend over 2 kilometers along the hillside, containing five burial grounds and structures from the Roman period.

The settlement operated as a crucial junction where the Via Domitia, Via Agrippa, and Via Aurelia intersected during the Roman Empire's expansion.

Archaeological excavations at Ernaginum reveal details about Roman military operations, trade networks, and daily life in ancient Gaul.

The site maintains its original position at coordinates 43°46′06″N and 4°41′45″E, offering direct access to ancient Roman infrastructure.

This mansio functioned as the capital of the Nearchi, a Gallic tribe of shepherds and farmers, before the Visigoth invasion in 480.
