Entremont
The city of Entremont would be a little to the west of today's Marseilles along the Rhône River.
Here's a little info about Entremont:
A little to the west, along the Rhône , the Celtic tribe of the Saluvii maintained their capital city of Entremont. It was considered a separate city, built as a hill-fort of about 9 acres. The walls of stone are evidence of Greek influence, as the Celts would have normally built walls of logs and tamped soil. The Celtic sanctuary has been located, with it’s enormous volume of skulls. The fort-city was destroyed in 123 BC, and never rebuilt.
