In its heyday, 1800 years ago, 20,000 people lived in the Roman town of Augusta Raurica. Many of the traces left behind by the native Celtic inhabitants and Roman conquerors have been excavated and are now accessible to the public.
The Roman House, a replica of an ancient domus, was built in 1955. With its carefully reconstructed residential quarters, the workshops for artisans and the public bar, the building gives visitors a taste of the way people lived and worked in Roman times, and was one of the first examples of Roman archaeological reconstruction in Europe.
