Nasium, Archaeological site in Naix-aux-Forges, France.

The archaeological remains of Nasium extend across 120 hectares at the confluence of the Ornain and Barboure rivers in northeastern France.

The settlement evolved from an oppidum to become the first capital of the Leuques civitas during the Roman period of the 1st century BC.

The excavated structures and artifacts reveal the transformation from Celtic to Roman architectural styles and daily practices in ancient Gaul.

Visitors can examine architectural fragments, sculptures, and funerary items from Nasium at the Musée barrois in Bar-le-Duc throughout the year.

Two substantial coin hoards discovered at Nasium included 300 aurei and gold jewelry, now preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale.
