During all the early Roman Empire, the ethnic character of the federal sanctuary of the Confluent seems to have been permanently confirmed, as shown by the story of the priesthood and the titulature of the priests. Consequently, one cannot include the colony of Lyon as part of the communauties which used to gather to celebrate this cult. Then, one must probably rejects the idea that an inscription of Upie, in the Drôme department (AE, 1952, 23 = AE, 1979, 403), in the honor of a priest of the Three Gauls, be about a Lyonnais.
