Le mausolée des thermes des Lutteurs à Saint-Romain-en-Gal (Rhône)

The burial area established on the former site of the thermal baths of the Wrestlers gives essential data about Late Antique Vienna beyond the 3^rdcent. AD. In a private family mausoleum a memorial crypt is developed, suggesting the existence of a particular grave, maybe of several venerated tombs. This transformation finds an echo in some well-known writings about the worship of the local martyr Ferréol. Associated with the city topography, these architectural data, dating from the very time of the martyrdom, renew our perception of the context at the origins of this worship, amongst the oldest attested in Gaul.
