Partially rebuilt 4th century Roman city brings back the ancient world
The Austrian capital, Vienna, is well known for its music, art, architecture, history, museums, café culture and food, not to mention its modeled public transport system. However, 20 miles east of the city is a destination that is often overlooked, and is guaranteed to be surprised and surprised.
It is called Carnuntum, a Roman border town that flourished between the 1st and 4th centuries AD.
The Carnuntum was part of a border defense system called the Lyme, which marked the borders of the Roman Empire. It consists of walls, ditches, forts, fortresses, guards and civilian settlements, and the Lime stretches from Scotland to Sahara.
Located 520 miles northeast of Rome, Carnuntum began as a front post base in the middle of B.C.E. B.E. In the early 2nd century AD it became the capital of the province of Rome known as Pannonian Superior. This included parts of modern Hungary, Croatia, Austria, Slovenia and Slovakia. Partly due to the location of the Danube River and the location of the Amber Trail, it became a prosperous trade centre of 50,000 residents. It features arenas, Gladiator School, River Fleet Ports and 6,000 Legionaire resident forces.
