It was an ancient Roman town called Augusta Raurica, estimated to date back to the 1st century AD. But like other Roman settlements, Augusta Raurica soon fell on hard times. War, disease and crop failures led to its gradual abandonment. Photo: @Aargau State Department of Archaeology.

In this relic complex, experts found many collapsed arched porches, traces of ancient houses and stone tunnels leading inside, which could have been a special storage place. Photo: @Aargau State Archaeological Service.
