AUGUSTA BAGIENNORUM

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 905 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AUGUSTA BAGIENNORUM , the
chief
  town of the Ligurian tribe of the Bagienni, probably identical with the modern Bene Vagienna, on the upper course of the Tanaro, about 35 M. due
south
  of
Turin
 . The town retained its position as a tribal centre in the reorganization of
Augustus
 , whose name it bears, and was erected on a systematic plan. Considerable remains of public buildings, constructed in concrete faced with small stones with bands of brick at intervals, an
amphitheatre
  with a major
axis
  of 390 ft. and a
minor
 
axis
  of 305 ft., a theatre with a stage 133 ft. in length, and near it the
foundations
  of what was probably a basilica, an open space (no doubt the forum), an aqueduct, baths, &c., have been discovered by
recent
  excavations, and also one of the city gates, flanked by two towers 22 ft. sq.
See G. Assandria and G.Vacchetta in Notizie degli Scavi (1894), 155 ;
(1896) , 215 ; (1897), 441; (1898), 299 ; (1900), 389 ; (1901), 413. (T. As.)
