Making Roman ointments and tooth powder
Cult and herbes
Immerse yourself in the world of ancient recipes and make a fragrant ointment and other natural cosmetics.
 "Augusta Raurica Goettliche Duefte 08 Foto Susanne Schenker")
During an excavation, archaeologists discovered three Roman ointment bottles belonging to a wealthy resident of Augusta Raurica: we follow these mysterious traces because they are the key to our ointment recipes. We use raw materials that have been used for 2000 years and that we can collect in nature today - such as fir resin or sage. During the workshop, we also make a powder for dental care from natural ingredients.
