Fanum
Definition
The fanum is a Gallo-Roman temple of Celtic tradition (plural: faded).
Description
What means that it is of Gallo-Roman time, that it is dedicated to a Roman god, but that by his form he is attached to the Celtic sanctuaries. Most of the time builds on a centered level, it is composed of a cella (central part where the statute of the guardian god was) often surrounded of a covered gallery. The fanum was sometimes surrounded of a vaster enclosure. One will quote the tower of Vésone in Périgueux and the temple of Janus in Autun, two of faded best preserved.
