Finding Arausio between Orange and the Rhône

Ancient Arausio survives as modern Orange, while the battlefield is reconstructed between the settlement and the Rhône.

Notes

Ancient Arausio is modern Orange in France, while the battlefield lay broadly between the town and the Rhône. No exact camp location is claimed. The map is a reasoned reconstruction that keeps the uncertainty visible. The geography matters because the armies crossed the river, maintained separated camps, and later faced the Rhône as a dangerous obstacle during retreat. Modern terrain helps locate the ancient narrative without turning an illustrative map into archaeological certainty.
