Why did Xerxes conquer Greece?

Monaco was a small nd insignificant Greek settlement in antiquity. The most important city in the area was Massilia (modern Marseille) a Greek town which was a friend and ally and trading partner of Rome. There was an increased Roman presence in the south of what is now France after the Romans took over eastern and southern Spain. Trade in the area increased and Roman towns, such as Narbo (Narbonne), Nemausus (Nimes) and Arelate (Arles) were founded. The local Greek towns along this coast and the local Gauls got on well with the Romans. The region was annexed in197 B.C., after it was attacked by Gauls who lived further north. It became the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis. The purpose was to improve the defence of the region as the Romans stationed legions in their provinces.
