On the pathway to the Gallo-Ramon temple a small cemetery is encountered. These were usually situated near an important road outside a village. In these times different ways of burial were used. The cremation graves contained an urn with the ashes of the deceased and some grave goods. In the second century people were also buried in a large stone casket, a sarcophagus. These were set on the ground or in a small funeral monument. Such sarcophagi has been found in and around Millingen and will be recreated. The cemetery will also contain a few grave monuments, including that of a Batavian horseman and the altarstone found in Millingen commemorating the relatives of Mucronia Marcia.
The modest Gallo-Roman temple will be based on an excavation in Elst.

Ceremonies will be held daily. Standing within temple grounds, surrounded by a wooden palisade, food is prepared in small field-ovens and distributed, a symbolic part will be sent to the gods as a sacrifice. The smell of incense waifs from the burner to appease the gods when asking or thanking for protection or a favour. The temple will be dedicated to the goddess Rufia Materna. The temple is regularly frequented by soldiers and civilians asking the priestess for advice on an important decision.
