Object history By the early 19th century the altar was in the the garden of the executioner of Nîmes, "située à l'extrémité du faubourg d'Avignon", where it was seen by François Artaud, who purchased it for the museum in Lyon in 1816. It was later returned to Nîmes and displayed in the Musée archéologique in the old college of the Jesuits. Transferred to the Musée de la Romanité in 2018.
