Augusta Munatiana

Last updated

Augusta Munatiana also known as Rauracorum was a Roman colony six miles from Basle. [1] The original town had been an Oppidum of the Raurici Celtic tribe at Basel-Gasfabrik.

During the Roman Empire it was a large town, mentioned on the Tabula Peutingeriana [2] and prospered due to its proximity to the regional capital Augusta Raurica on the crossroads and the Pax Romana, but shrunk during the Middle Ages to be a mere village. [3] It was located at 47.5700n, 7.6000e, near the intersection of the German, French and Swiss borders.
