ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses two classes of objects which are usually studied in a completely separate way: anatomical ex-votos in Republican Italy, on the one hand and those of Roman Gaul. The face of the swaddled baby found in 1909 looks so strikingly similar to a male head on a funerary stele of Sens-Agedincum 130 km northwest of Alesia that one wonders whether they come from the same workshop. In addition, the pit contained two fragments of limestone swaddled babies which at first sight are not easy to identify. If the limestone sculptures were originally sheltered in the aedicula before being discarded in a pit which was then sealed during the first half of the third century, they are consequently datable to a period between the years AD 120. It must be noted that two stone anatomical votives recovered from the sanctuary bear a dedication 'to the god Apollo Moritasgus'.
