A guided tour of Augusta Raurica

We accompany you and your class on a journey of discovery through the former centre of Augusta Raurica. In the Roman Museum you will see the largest late antique silver treasure, in the Roman house with its authentic furnishings you will discover many details about the everyday lives of a Roman family and in the imposing theatre the focus will be on the ancient games and spectacles. We take a walk through the forum to the town hall, the curia, where you will learn a lot of interesting facts about public life in a Roman provincial town.
