Description

Augusta Raurica è un grande sito archeologico romano in Svizzera, nel semicantone di Basilea Campagna. Situato a circa 20 km ad est di Basilea, corrisponde alla moderna Augst. È la più antica colonia romana sul Reno di cui si abbia notizia.

Augusta Raurica venne fondata attorno al 44 a.C. dal luogotenente di Giulio Cesare, Lucio Munazio Planco, in un'area occupata da una locale tribù gallica, i Raurici. Durante i primi due secoli dopo Cristo fu un luogo prosperoso e, nei suoi giorni di maggior gloria, era capitale della locale provincia romana. Potrebbe aver raggiunto una popolazione di ventimila abitanti. Gli Alemanni distrussero la città attorno al 260. Durante il tardo impero, essa perse la sua importanza a favore della vicina Basilea, e gli abitanti superstiti si posero sotto la protezione del vicino Castrum Rauracense, un grande castello romano sito nella vicina Kaiseraugst e posto a difesa del Limes tardoimperiale.
