Facts and practical information

The Salyes or Salluvii were an ancient Celto-Ligurian people dwelling between the Durance river and the Greek colony of Massalia during the Iron Age. Although earlier writers called them 'Ligurian', Strabo used the denomination 'Celto-ligurian', and a Celtic influence is noticeable in their religion, which centred on the cult of the tête coupée. In fact, the Salyes were most likely at the head of a political and military confederation that united both Gallic and Ligurian tribes. ()
