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

The second part of the exhibition, «The Perfect Dinner. Romans, Power and Rubbish», focuses on food. The finds from the ancient waste pit prove that only the finest food was served to the guests at this unique banquet. At the exhibition, you will learn how the exotic dishes found their way to Augusta Raurica, where the exquisite ingredients came from and which animals the found bones belonged to.
Go on an exciting search for clues!
