Archaeologists have discovered a Gallo-Roman chair
Haute-Savoie, department in France, Eastern Alps
A very rare discovery of a Kurul chair in a probable tomb of a 1st-century Gallo-Roman aristocrat. A symbol of power in Rome, the Kurul chair during the Roman Republic was reserved for magistrates who administered justice.
In the first century it was a sign of prestige among the aristocrats. The tomb contains rich funerary furniture with twenty ceramic vases, at least as many glass vessels, forty-six bronze utensils and vessels that contained nutrients (wine, lentils, beans, cattle, pork, rabbit, rooster, partridge, duck, fish ). 
The presence of some exceptional finds should also be emphasized: a pair of gold earrings, elements of fabric embroidered with gold thread, silver stripes. Another grave next to a younger person also contains artifacts, but less rich.
Such chairs are often combined with a chariot and weapons and armor.
The excavations continue and we expect many more artifacts which after restoration and conservation will be buried in a museum where to please the eyes of visitors and connoisseurs.
We hope we have been helpful to you
