INACTIVE: Digital stories from the ruins

The augmented reality app lets you explore these remarkably well-preserved commercial buildings on the Roman highway in a whole new way – with an AR audio story and an interactive tour.

Our augmented reality audio drama in the commercial buildings is currently unavailable due to a technical update. We look forward to offering you this special experience again in high quality as soon as possible.
The commercial buildings are still accessible to visitors as usual.


Immerse yourself in what everyday life was like 1700 years ago and witness the dramatic final hours before the disastrous fire in the exact location where it all happened.

Gain in-depth background information and call up interactively selected archaeological finds from the excavation.

You will need your smartphone or tablet and suitable headphones.
You can download the app for free:
