<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 4987633, member: 89314&quot;]I don&#039;t fully understand how this error was made myself. Apparently the exact location of the Raurica colony Plancus founded was uncertain and one possible location was a hill in Basel with the remains of a Celtic settlement. Here is something from the <i>Historisches Lexicon der Schweiz</i> (Google Translate):</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;prev=search&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=de&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;u=https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/fr/articles/010333/2009-01-21/&amp;usg=ALkJrhj4tOf46fOcD47Gm3m3YcMi5xLHAQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;prev=search&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=de&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;u=https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/fr/articles/010333/2009-01-21/&amp;usg=ALkJrhj4tOf46fOcD47Gm3m3YcMi5xLHAQ" rel="nofollow">FR </a><a href="https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;prev=search&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=de&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;u=https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/it/articles/010333/2009-01-21/&amp;usg=ALkJrhgqND81fvWn9eGAKlYgH85X4IfBUA" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;prev=search&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=de&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;u=https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/it/articles/010333/2009-01-21/&amp;usg=ALkJrhgqND81fvWn9eGAKlYgH85X4IfBUA" rel="nofollow">IT</a></p><p><font size="6"><b>Lucius Munatius Plancus</b></font></p><p><br /></p><p>Version from: 01/21/2009</p><p>Author: Peter-Andrew Schwarz</p><p>87 BC Tibur (today Tivoli, Latium), after 15 BC. Disciple of Cicero, career under Caesar in the Gauls and civil wars, 44-43 governor in Gaul, 42 consul, 22 censor. The brilliant speaker was one of the leading senators of the late republic, he supported the amnesty of the murderers after the murder of Caesar. M. advised after 31 BC. the future Ks. Octavian and proposed the honorary name Augustus for him in the Senate. According to the inscription on his tomb mausoleum on Monte Orlando in Gaeta (Latium), he lived in 44 BC. the Raetians defeated in a battle, for which he was granted a triumphal procession through Rome. The inscription also indicates that M. in Gaul the colonies <i>Lugudunum</i> (Lyon) and <i>Raurica</i>founded. This undoubtedly happened on behalf of Caesar in the years 44/43 BC. The location of the second foundation is controversial: the oldest traces of settlement in Augusta Raurica date from the Augustan period (15-10 BC). As a result, the (first) founding act could only be de iure or elsewhere, for example in the oppidum of the Celts. Rauriker on the Basel Minster Hill. In the 16th century M. was stylized as the city hero of Basel. The mistake that Basel was also founded by M. as a daughter town of the Augst colony persisted into the 20th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
