…Marseilles.
Venantius Fortunatus, who at the request of the historian Gregory of Auvergne, bishop of Tours (544-595), wrote a poem on this occasion, hints at the fact that the Jews only concluded to be baptized when they found out that resistance by arms was impossible ("Carm." v. 5).
It appears from Gregory's letters to Virgilius of Arles and to Theodore of Marseilles that the Jews who escaped to Marseilles were later also forced to adopt Christianity.
