Time travel to Roman Atuatuca Tungrorum in 100 AD (Tongeren, Belgium)

Special thanks to Steven Vandewal, Dirk Pauwels & Igor van den Vonder. We visit Atuatuca Tungrorum or current day Tongeren, which was home to one of the largest Roman cities in the northern part of the empire of Rome. We visit all major sights, such as the Teseum, Gallo-Romeins Museum, the temple complex at Keverstraat and various parts of the old Roman city wall and the location of the aqueduct. While visiting, we tell the story of the Gallic King of the Eburones Ambiorix in one of the most famous battles found in Julius Caesar own letters. Today, the city is the oldest city in Belgium.
