Summary/Abstract: The rearrangement and relocation of the Dej Municipal Museum, which took place in 2018, was an excellent opportunity for a thorough reassessment and analysis of the heritage it holds. At the time of updating the inventories, a series of sculptural monuments from the Roman era were identified in the former deposit of the museum, and to our surprise some of them are unpublished. A votive altar, fragments of funerary stelae with or without inscription, fragments of funerary lions, as well as a series of architectural elements, such as column bases and a series of capitals, were included in the new museum repertory.
