How did medical science develop in Antiquity? What traces of it can still be found at Augusta Raurica? By witnessing a fumigation the students receive an authentic introduction to the subject matter. Based on fragrant medicinal plants and incense they discover the most important ancient trading posts and discuss the healing properties of spices and resins. After this introduction students make their own fragrant ointments and incense mixtures using Roman recipes, which they can take home after the workshop.

Participants in workshops from 12 years of age are required to wear a face mask.

Unfortunately, this offer is only available in German.
