This report complements that from the 26.08.2000.
Since the 27.08.2000 Augusta Raurica has an attraction more. As everybody knows an arch room was found in 1998.
 |
It is a question of a fountain house. A several meters long tunnel leads to it. |
 |
A fountain shaft borders at the room. The aperture to this shows two arches. Why this construction was built so extensively is not clear yet. |
 |
Water was ladled from the fountain among other things for a bordering bath. |
| From the forum temple a lot is not to be seen. The podium - which was pulled down only in 1911 - and the front were reconstructed of wood. The altar in front of that was complemented from fragments. |  |
 |
A pottery with two kilns was preserved also in a shelter building. |
| Some brickworks are indeed on the district of Kaiseraugst. It became however needed in the 4th century through the Legio Iprima Martia. It was in the fortress stationed. |  |
 |
The city wall was planned presumably monumentally. The building was soon stopped however - possible because lack of money. The eastern gate consisted thus only of two semicircle towers. |
 |
Before that a tomb was constructed in the form of a rotunda. |
Mentioning is still the roman domestic animal park lying here. Here animal species are held, which are similar to the roman ones (goats, poultry, pigs).
