Secrets of Augustodunum: The Roman City That Rivaled Rome - Full Documentary

Nearly 2,000 years ago, one of the greatest cities of the Roman world rose in the heart of Gaul. Today, spectacular archaeological discoveries are finally revealing the secrets of this forgotten metropolis. 🏛️ Long before Paris became France's greatest city, another Roman metropolis dominated the heart of Gaul. Known as Augustodunum, modern-day Autun was one of the Roman Empire's most ambitious urban projects—so magnificent that it was often described as a "sister city" to Rome itself. Built in just a few decades, its monumental gates, temples, theatres and defensive walls showcased the extraordinary engineering and architectural expertise of the Roman world. But after centuries of glory, much of the city vanished beneath time. Today, archaeologists are uncovering remarkable new discoveries that are transforming our understanding of Roman Gaul. From an immense necropolis filled with perfectly preserved sarcophagi to mysterious ancient puzzles finally solved with digital technology, every excavation reveals a new chapter in the story of this forgotten capital. How did Roman engineers build such a vast city so quickly? What role did Augustodunum play in shaping the Roman Empire beyond Italy? And what do these extraordinary discoveries reveal about the people who lived there nearly two thousand years ago? Combining spectacular CGI reconstructions, cutting-edge archaeology and expert insight, this documentary brings one of Europe's greatest lost Roman cities back to life. ------------------------------------- 🔔 Subscribe now and hit the notification bell to embark on a journey of knowledge and discovery with us.
