Gallo-Roman sanctuary of Apollo Grannus, the healing god, in the Vosges department of northeastern France, identified with Andesina on the Peutinger Table. Its 1st-century amphitheatre seated 17,000 spectators, making it one of the largest in the Roman Empire. A 232-square-metre floor mosaic from an ancient basilica depicts four wild animals around a central theatrical scene from Menander's Phasma. The town was enclosed by a rampart and developed as a major pilgrimage centre for healing rituals dedicated to Apollo Grannus.
