20 Euros Aguntum

Aguntum, located near modern Dölsach in East Tyrol, was the only municipium in what is now Austria during the Roman period — a formal status granted likely under Claudius in the first century AD. The site was excavated seriously only from the mid-twentieth century onward, and much of it remains unexcavated beneath agricultural land. Austria's "Römische Städte" silver series, of which this is a part, used coinage to draw attention to archaeological sites with limited public visibility.

A catastrophic flood in the late fifth or early sixth century effectively ended occupation at Aguntum.
