Augusta Raurica: Model Town - Town Model
25.03.2010 - 01.2013
Urban planning on a drawing board is not peculiar to modern times. The Romans were already designing entire towns at their desks. Augusta Raurica is a typical example of this. Finds arranged around a three-dimensional model illustrate the history of the town from its founding in 44 BC to its demise around AD 600.
