The Musee et Site Archeologiques de Cimiez is a museum devoted to ancient history at Nice. With the museum site of Terra Amata, it is the most famous archaeological museum in Nice. The most featured objects and mementoes are the milestones of the time of Augustus and Hadrien that lined the Via Julia Augusta, the mask of Silenus and pieces of furniture in wood and bronze, which had been secured from the wreck of the ancient ship Fourmigue.

A section also houses the monumental statue of Antonia Minor from the first century, which was discovered in the Baths frigidarium North in 1957. The currencies of Cornelia Salonina and base statue which is dedicated to the Empress, are also housed in the Museum. A highly preserved section situated within the premises also houses the sarcophagi carved stones which were discovered near the monastery and the Saint Bartholomew. Numerous tombstones are found near the site along with other stelae found in the center of the city of Nice.
