    🏛️ Carsicis Portus: the ancient name of Cassis

    🔙 Origins of the name: The name Cassis comes from Kar-Sit, two Celto-Ligurian terms:
    Kar 🪨: means rock
    Sit ⛰️: means mountain


    🕰️ In ancient times...
    During Antiquity (the first centuries BC), when a town was founded, it was often placed:
    👉 on ancient Celto-Ligurian places of worship,
    👉 under the protection of a goddess – linked to springs, sacred groves, or mountains.


    🌊 The Beginnings of Cassis
    It seems that life in Cassis began with a cult dedicated to:
    🔹 The spirit of the Cap Canaille Spring
    🔹 Its ancient name: Promontarium Zao
    🔹 The associated tutelary deity: Charsis Tanaé 🧝‍♀️, protector of the place.
