Augusta Raurica - Switzerland
Discovering the Roman World.
Silver treasure.
At the time - back in December 1961 - the construction workers were only supposed to be levelling a sports field, but instead they dug up ancient silver treasure. This was just one more proof that here, not far from the Rhine and just a stone's throw or so east of Basle, living Roman history lay buried.
By Jupiter!
