The Gallo-Roman Museum is dedicated to the Roman military site located north of Neuf-Brisach, on the western bank of the Rhine.
The exceptional interest of this site, covering more than 200 hectares, has led to major international excavations. Its privileged position on the Rhine explains its leading role in the history of Romanization in Alsace.
The nature of the site is today well defined: a vicus located between two military poles including a vexillation camp of the 1st century, serving as an operational base for the conquest of the Fields Decumates and a fortress-palace of the 4th century.
The collections, complemented by numerous panels, are organized around three themes:
* Military and commercial functions (stamped tiles, offensive and defensive weaponry elements, coins, amphorae, rare silver bullion).
* Funerary and religious rites (sandstone sarcophagus, funerary objects, remains from a temple dedicated to the Eastern god Mithras.
* Everyday life (ornaments, common dishes
