At that time, as at present, Emporiae consisted of two towns, separated by a wall.

One was inhabited by Greeks from Phocaea, whence the Massilians also derive their origin; the other by Spaniards.

The Greek town, being open towards the sea, had but a small extent of wall, not above four hundred paces in circuit; but the Spanish town, being farther back from the sea, had a wall three thousand paces in circumference.

A third kind of inhabitants was added by the deified Caesar settling a Roman colony there, after the final defeat of the sons of Pompey.

At present they are all incorporated in one mass; the Spaniards first, and, at length, the Greeks; having been adopted into the Roman citizenship.
