On this commune, La Marne takes its source from a cave bearing the name of a lingon chef, Sabinus, rebel towards the Roman authority. He was chased down by his enemies for nine years, at the end of which he was found and imprisoned in Rome. His wife, Eponine, entered him, begged her grace with Vespasiano, who refused her, and finally got to be executed at the same time as his beloved husband.

This dolmen located 5 km south of Nogent, in the forest of Lardigny, near the ancient Roman path (CD 1), on the outskirts of Vitry-les-Nogent, is inscribed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments. " Stone stones "carry on the horizontal side a cavity that retains rainwater. Made by man or natural? Mystery! Traditions also say that they were used to collect the blood of the victims sacrificed or offerings. But we now know that they belonged to a whole funeral body and that they were most often linked to burial, buttes of land where the bodies of the deceased were deposited. It also appears that an illustrious warrior was buried there.
