Miniature ‘Ex-voto’ from Argentomagus (Indre)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 November 2011

Among the offerings deposited in Gallo-Roman sanctuaries, the miniature ‘ex-voto’ have seldom been studied. They have been discovered at various sites in Gallia Comata and, apart from a few typically local products, are similar to the better-known examples from Britain.
