Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2024.
Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The figures in copper alloy of the city of Bourbonne-les-Bains (Haute-Marne), discovered a while ago, including the ones from the thermal sanctuary, had not yet been carefully studied. Fragmentary and disparate, the objects are essentially related to the religious and decorative fields. Two sculptures of dragons stand out as well as a set of fragmentary sconces that might represent the mythological episode of the fall of Phaeton. These lacunar remains are difficult to interpret due to the context of discovery, in or near a sacred spring, but they underscore the spread of Roman iconography in the religious practice of eastern Gaul.
