Family funerary stele
Atelier à Langres Langres, citadelle, Ier – IIIe siècle Calcaire
Andemantunum (now Langres), the main settlement of the Gallic tribe of the Lingones, was home to four large necropolises. Excavations have uncovered significant vestiges associated with Roman funeral rites. Funerary stelae like this one used to mark out cremations in a necropolis. They might name the deceased, state their profession, and say something about them or their relatives.
