 | | From the Upper Bronze Age (1200-700 BC) is the Cremlen Sepulcher, containing wheel-shaped pendants, two bronze bracelets and a pin; and axes and bracelets from a hoard of bronze objects known as the "Treasure of Vernaison". |
 | | Nearby is a small 3rd century cippus from the Baths of Apollo, reading "Dedicated to Blandinia Martiola aged 16 years, 9 months by her husband Pompeius Catussa, a stucco artisan, under the ascia" (a mason's trowel or adze), one of numerous examples of such dedications from Lugdunum. |
 | | One 3rd century cippus is dedicated to a German standard bearer from the 30th Legion, and another, with the image of an ascia or mason's trowel, is to a warrant officer from the 22nd Legion. |
