Discover the daily life and rites of the Arecomic Volques, the Gaulish people who settled on the site of Nîmes around the Source of La Fontaine, well before the Roman colony. The numerous traces and objects found enable reconstitution of the way of life of a society that was already economically very important.
At the end of the Caesarean era (44 years before our era), Nîmes became a colony and took the name of Colonia Augusta Nemausus. Compare the city of today with the traces of the past and immerse yourself in Roman civilisation.

Discover the Nîmes region and the lives of the people who lived there for 25 centuries. The 5000 items exposed, from amongst a rich archaeological collection of 25,000 items collected in Nîmes and its environs, bear witness to the process of romanisation, which took place in the region nearly 2000 years ago. Four chronological sequences, connected by knowledge boxes, each one acting as a veritable enclosure in time and space, lead you
from the Iron Age (the Gaulish period before Roman civilisation), through the Roman period, the Middle Ages and then the Roman legacy throughout the centuries.A veritable entrance door to understanding the city, the Museum invites you to a journey through history, following the fabulous traces of the past, which will enable you to share their daily lives and the wealth of their civilisation.
