Culture
Massongex lies at the centre of the federal organisation of Vallis Poenina; the location of the federal sanctuary near Tarnaiae is currently a hypothesis.
In the 1st century AD, the settlement gradually became Romanised: the Celtic god Taranis became Jupiter, and the Celtic temple was converted.
In antiquity, Massongex was the capital of the Nantuates and was known at that time as Tarnaiae.
After losing its former prominence, Massongex continued to prosper during the Pax Romana.
