Argentoratum, Roman archaeological site in Strasbourg, France
Archaeological excavations at the Argentoratum site reveal ancient Roman walls, roads, and architectural elements within the modern city center of Strasbourg.
The Roman settlement of Argentoratum was established in 12 BCE under General Nero Claudius Drusus as a military fortification along the Rhine frontier.
The strategic location of Argentoratum influenced the development of trade routes and military defenses, shaping the regional cultural identity of modern Alsace.
Visitors can examine Roman artifacts and structural remains through guided archaeological tours in the center of Strasbourg.
The Roman camp covered 19 hectares with three successive ramparts built from wood, limestone, and pink sandstone, visible in current Strasbourg topography.
