Roman Weekends

Your journey into the past!

Over three weekends in October, Augusta Raurica comes alive with Roman life. Artisans demonstrate their skills, whilst numerous hands-on stations invite young and old alike to have a go and explore. And every weekend brings its own highlight: gladiatorial combats in the arena, legionaries or a visit from the Emperor himself.

Admission is free.
