Since the 16th century, scholars and researchers have been inspired by the antiques appearing throughout the territory of the ancient city. On the right bank, the vestiges of the public baths, known under the name of Palais du Miroir, evoke the ancient splendor of the Roman city.

Nicolas Chorier, a lawyer belonging to the Grenoble Parliament, described them in Antiquities of the City of Vienne, published in 1658.

At the end of the 18th century, Pierre Schneyder, founder of the Museum of Vienne, conducted archaeological excavations in the district which is now classified as a historical site, uncovering several pavements in the process.

Up until the beginning of the 20th century, there was a mostly accidental discovery of mosaics throughout the territory of Sainte-Colombe and Saint-Romain-en-Gal.
