Companion animals, farm animals, show animals, wild animals from the region or exotic animals – many testimonies to the relationship between man and beast have been found in Nyon, dating back to Roman times. Why was Jupiter sometimes depicted with goat horns? What animals were on the Roman menu? Why were lions’ heads depicted on fountains? Come and discover the bestiary hidden away at Nyon’s Roman Museum!
