The Archaeological Museum of Arlon in in Arlon, Province of Luxemborg. Arlon is located at the crossroads of two important Roman roads (Reims-Trier and Metz-Tongres) which allowed the ancient residents to experience a prosperity during the first three centuries of our era. Located in the former territory of the city of Treviri the town bore the name of Orolaunum vicus. The museum is especially noted for its rich collection of ancient funerary monuments due to their reuse in a rampart built at the end of the third century and early fourth century CE to protect the vicus from invasion.
