	Nemausus
		Nemausus was the Gallic god associated with the springs of Nimes.
		According to the legend the City of Nemausus was founded around a well sacred to the divine Nemausus, a son of Heracles.This name was preserved through history and was later used by Roman colonists.
		Nemausus especially grew under M. Vipsanius Agrippa, son in law to Augustus Caesar, and got the status of “Colonia” in the year 27 BCE, because veterans who had fought in the war against Antonius and Cleopatra in Egypt, settled here.

		Nemausus is often said to have been the Celtic patron god of Nemausus (NÃ®mes).
		An important healing spring sanctuary existed in the town; it was established in some form at least as early as the early Iron Age but was expanded after the Romans colonised the region in the late 2nd Century BC, when there was active Roman encourage of the cult.
		Another set of local spirits worshiped at Nemausus (NÃ®mes) were the Nemausicae or Matre Nemausicae, who were fertility and healing goddesses belonging to the spring sanctuary.

	France - Nimes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Nimes was the Nemausus of Rome, a name probably formed by some Phenician adaptation of the Gallic word "Naimh." According to legend the city was founded by one of the lieutenants of Hercules, who discovered the clear springs on the summit of the hill behind the Gaulish town.
		The Romans, always considerate in such matters, accepted Nemausus as a member of their own theology, gave him Diana—Diana in her seldom remembered character as the local equivalent of Artemis, goddess of the woods and waters—as an assistant in the care of the fountain, and transformed the shrine into a pleasure-garden.
		On top of the hill from which flows the spring of Nemausus a stone tower ninety feet high, known locally as the Tour Magne, is another landmark commemorative of human credulity.

	Livius Picture Archive: Nemausus (Nîmes)
		The ancient city of Nemausus, capital of the Gallic Volcae tribe, was situated on the southern edge of the Cevennes mountains in a fertile part of the Rhône valley, along the Via Domitia between Italy and Hispania.
		In 27 BCE, the emperor Augustus settled veterans from his Egyptian campaign in the city and gave it the rights of a colonia.
		The coins of Nemausus therefore showed an Egyptian crocodile and sometimes palm tree or leaf.

		As part of the intense program of Romanization in Gallia Narbonensis, Augustus made certain that Nemausus received the finest architectual creations of the time, as is evident from the superb archaeological finds in the region.

		Nemausus became the new seat of local administration, a status that it would enjoy for the remainder of the imperial epoch.

		While the exotic African animals were reserved for Rome, that did not preclude the use of bulls, bears, and boars in the Nemausus amphitheater.
		After the 4th century A.D., with the fall of the Roman Empire, the aqueduct ceased to be maintained and lime deposits started to clog the water channel.
		East of Nemausus, straddling the Rhone River, was the Roman city of Arelate.

		Gerry if what you say about housing projects for the poor is true, that should be seen as a sure signal to the public and city officials that sufficient measures aren't being taken to counter such declines in inexpensively built housing for the poor.

		The explanation for this is the Battle of Actium (31 BC) at which Octavius - who was not yet Augustus Caesar - defeated Antony and Cleopatra's fleet and established his control of the Mediterranean basin and the Empire.
		Nîmes, or rather Nemausus, soon minted coins with the Emperor Augustus and his son-in-law Agrippa on one face and a crocodile attached to a palm tree crowned with laurel leaves on the other.
