The Anatilii were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the Alpilles region during the Iron Age.
They are mentioned as Anatiliorum by Pliny (1st c. AD). [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]
