Trésor de Neuvy-en-Sullias

The Trésor de Neuvy-en-Sullias contains thirty-three bronze pieces including animal statues, human figures, and a meter-high horse discovered in a sand quarry.

Workers uncovered this collection of Gallo-Roman bronze objects in 1861, which dates from the first century BCE to the first century CE.

The sculptures combine Celtic artistic traditions with Roman influences, featuring both indigenous deities and classical mythological representations in bronze craftsmanship.

These archaeological artifacts are now displayed at the Musée Historique et Archéologique de l'Orléanais in Orleans, where visitors can examine their details.

An inscription on the horse statue base mentions Rudiobus, a Celtic deity, providing rare evidence of religious dedication practices in ancient Gaul.
