Expositions

The Perfect Dinner. Romans, Power and Rubbish

The year is 39 AD. A distinguished visitor arrives in Augusta Raurica. A lavish feast is prepared for them. The leftovers end up in a pit, remaining undiscovered for nearly 2000 years.

Where will the celebrations take place? Who is invited? What will they drink? What do we have in common with Roman table culture? What are the differences to today?

The "Perfect Dinner. Romans, Power and Rubbish" exhibition allows you to be a guest at this extremely special event and takes you on a hunt for clues – what do the archaeological finds tell us? Take a look behind the scenes of a Roman feast and marvel at the abundance of information passed down to us from the rubbish of the time.


Supporting Program
Guided dialogical tours and tasting workshops are offered. In dialogue with our mediators, the content of the exhibition is discussed, connections to the present are made and those who wish can taste Roman wine. In the group workshop ‘Gustatio romana - Roman appetizers homemade’, you can make and taste a Roman aperitif yourself.
