Dalheim Ricciacum is the site of a Gallo-Roman vicus, or small town, at Dalheim in the southeastern Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Founded during the reign of the emperor Augustus, it stood at a strategic point on the Via Agrippa, the main Roman road linking the Mediterranean to the Rhine. Its well-preserved theatre, dating from the second century AD, could accommodate 3,500 people, and further excavated remains include a temple and baths, with artifacts held today by the National Museum of History and Art in Luxembourg.
