Wednesday Afternoon Talk: The imperial banquet
A special walk through the animal park.
An activity trail in the Augusta Raurica animal park turns an ordinary visit into a memorable experience. Using clues and tasks, we’ll explore together the importance of animals in daily life, religion, and the economy during Roman times. The tour goes beyond simply solving puzzles, combining meticulous historical research with a shared experience.
