\nIn the second century BC, nearly all south Ard\u00e8che is occupied by the Helvii, a Gallic people. This territory as Southeast of Gaul is under Roman control.
\nAround 85 BC Cabur, the Chief of the helviens obtained Roman citizenship. The remains of the fortress of Jastres, located 15 minutes from Alba-la-Romaine, could attest its power and loyalty to Rome. Around 10 BC, the fortress of Jastres is abandoned. The city of Alba Helviorum was expended with a Roman urban development.
\nAlba was on a highly strategic location, on network roads from the Rh\u00f4ne valley to C\u00e9vennes and to the south of Gaul. The ancient city was the capital of the Helviens people.
