Abstract

Around 600 BC, the inhabitants of Massilia (Marseille, France), a Greek colony, referred to the people of Provence using the terminology ‘Keltoi’. Later, the Romans would ‘latinise’ the name: ‘Celtae’ (Celts). They also used this name for all populations north of Provence (including the Alps). Herodotus refers to them in his book Histories.
