Anatilii

The Anatilii are recorded by Pliny (1st c. AD), who gives their name in the Latin genitive case (Anatiliorum).^[1][2] Their name may be related to Gaulish anatia, meaning 'souls'.^[3]

Pliny mentions a regio Anatiliorum situated between the Campi lapidei (the Crau) and the territories of Dexivates (between the Durance and Luberon) and Cavari (around present-day Avignon and Cavaillon).^[4] Their territory was located north of Libicii and Avatici, east of the Volcae Arecomici.^[5] According to historian Guy Barruol, they were part of the Saluvian confederation.^[6]

An oppidum with Latin Rights given by Pliny as Anatilia has been linked to the site of Vernègues, near Salon-de-Provence.^[7][8]
