Comments: Nimes is a county in southern France. In ancient times it was a very prosperous part of the Roman Gallia Narbonensis (for the early history of which, see Provence , in Arles). The fall of Rome in the 5th century saw the region overrun first by Visigoths and later by the Franks, not to mention being repeatedly raided by even more barbarous Vandals, Langobards, and Saracens over the ages.

Definitively a part of France since Charlemagne's day, the province is under the Ecclesiastical authority of the Archbishop of Narbonne. It has a diversified economy, with much clothmaking in the towns, and is agriculturally highly productive as well.
