Popis: This study delves into the archaeological discoveries and cultural dissemination in Traismauer (Lower Austria/AUT), a component of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Danube Limes." The archaeological site, referred to as "Augustianis" in Roman times or (anachronistically but quite suitably) as "Roman Traismauer," is situated beneath the entirety of the modern city area. The paper begins by briefly discussing the dynamic changes that occurred in the settlement during antiquity (1st - 5th cent. AD), as exemplified by recent excavation projects. These changes were likely due to reduced troop strength in late antiquity and changing social and climatic conditions. The civilian population began to occupy areas within the camp that were no longer used by the military, and they seemingly abandoned large parts of the vicus (i.e., civil settlement), seeking protection within the camp walls due to the deteriorating security situation. In this context, new bioarchaeological investigations are also initially presented. The paper further underscores the importance of archaeological research and knowledge dissemination in Traismauer, primarily through a new exhibition called "Traismaurer Schätze," which opened in 2022. The ongoing archaeological investigations, supported by the local community, continuously enrich the understanding of the ancient site and provide insightful glimpses into the everyday life of the people in "Roman Traismauer."
