The Oppidum de Roque de Viou is on a hilltop overlooking the valley called the Vaunage, above the village of Nages-et-Solorgues, in Gard, between Nîmes et Sommières, in Occitanie, France [1]. It is in the commune of Saint-Dionizy and is one of six Iron Age oppida in the Vaunage; about 200m from the Oppidum de Nages or Oppidum des Castels [1]. Three stages of occupation can be detected [1]. The Volques first occupied the Oppidum de Roque de Viou about 700 BCE, and left around 600 [1].
