The bronze giants

It’s difficult to imagine what Nyon, the Colonia Iulia Equestris, looked like 2000 years ago, in Roman times! Through the centuries, a lot of things have changed in people’s habits and their way of life.

Fragments are broken parts of much bigger objects. In this case, we know that these parts came from statues that were human sized, or bigger.
