The Römisches Lapidarium occupies the basement of the Neues Schloss in Stuttgart and belongs to Landesmuseum Württemberg.

About one hundred Roman stone monuments fill this setting. They include statues, sculptures, reliefs, and inscription tablets dating from AD 50 to 300.

Its history began in 1583, when Simon Studion gave Duke Ludwig seven Roman altars and reliefs. The seven gifts first stood in Stuttgart’s Lusthaus. Today, the wider collection holds about 1,300 monuments and fragments, while this presentation shows roughly 100. Those stones record Roman life in Württemberg. Together, they reveal military organisation along the Limes, civilian life, and religious beliefs in Upper Germany and Raetia.

A Mithras relief discovered in 1583 remains in the display. The presentation includes a replica of a Jupitergigantensäule and original fragments from that monument. That monument type spread through northern Upper Germany and eastern Gallia Belgica. At the entrance, a copied relief shows two men shaking hands for Concordia, goddess of harmony.
