A terracotta figure was found in one of the former houses of the Roman vicus. It is a depiction of the Celtic horse goddess Epona, sitting sideways on a horse in a lady's seat. The clay statue is twelve centimeters high. The significance of the find is due to its rarity and the good preservation of the color scheme.[9] Today the statue is in the Koblenz State Museum, and a copy is also on display in the Boppard City Museum in the Elector's Castle. An enlarged copy was also placed near the place where it was found.
