A virtual journey into the past
Explore the Roman commercial buildings and immerse yourself in ancient life on site with the new "Augusta Raurica AR Experience" augmented reality app. The audio story recounts the final hours before the disastrous fire that occurred in around the year 300. You can also select archaeological finds to call up interactively. The tour only works at the ruins.

Preparation and follow-up
Use the supporting documents "Rediscovered – Remains from the Roman commercial buildings" to complete the experience with entertaining preparation and follow-up activities in the classroom.

You will need a free ticket to access the commercial buildings.
You can get this from the museum ticket desk (10:00-17:00) or via the ticket shop

Topic module: Rediscovered - Remains from the Roman commercial buildings

Augusta Raurica

This module is all about the remains people leave behind and which remains we find from Roman times. The purpose of the module is to prepare for and follow up on a visit to the commercial buildings and the augmented reality "AR Experience". However, these fascinating topics can be covered in lessons even without a visit.
