The pieses are from limestone. They were found in 1975 during earthworks for the kindergarten of Augst. The pieces were used as spolia (re-use of earlier building material) in the outer wall of a building. Two very similar pieces were found in the castrum wall. They originally belonged to a monumental building in the upper town, maybe the basilica, and were re-used after its decay.
The artifacts are on public display in a residential area of Kaiseraugst as a loan from the Roman museum of Augst.
