The mild climate attracted many Roman immigrants. Vineyards prospered, olive groves were cultivated, and splendid buildings were erected. The province was also famous for its culture, especially the schools at Massilia (see Marseille). Narbonensis (full name Gallia Narbonensis), a Roman province in Transalpine Gaul.
