The first settlement traces from Vienne are two fireplaces from the time 4'700 to 3'400 BC. From the time 2'300 to 800 BC were found some weapons.
In the 3rd century BC the Gallic Allobroger arrived and settled here. Around 121 BC the Alloborger were conquered by the Romans and integrated into the province Transalpina.
Around AD 40 the town was raised officially to a colony. Under Gaius Octavius Augustus (27 BC to AD 14) was built a town wall which presumably had only representative character.
In the 3rd century several quarters were given up due to the economical and political crisis. The Alemannians plundered the town in the year AD 275. At the beginning of the 4th century Vienna became however capital of the new province with the same name.
The town continued be inhabited also after the fall of West Rome.
Today different remains of the
antique Vienna are to see. On the eastern side of the
Rhone: The pyramid of the
hippodrome, a stretch of the town wall, the theater, parts of a building from the forum and
rests of further buildings. The Augustus and Livia temple is a question of the forum
temple.
At the western Rhone bank
is today the place Saint-Romain-en-Gal. Also here was
a part of the
town Vienna. First
town traces come from the year 40
BC. The most buildings come however from the year AD 50 and later. In the 4th century this settlement place was given up.
Here were villas, warehouses, department stores and craftsmen houses. Furthermore thermal springs and a monumental porticus. A part of this settlement surface is today also visible.
