Carnuntum

Carnuntum was a major Roman legionary fortress and civil city on the Danube, serving as capital of Pannonia Superior and a commercial hub. The site includes an amphitheatre, a triumphal arch (Heidentor), palace and public-bath remains, a reconstructed house, and traces of a gladiator school within a large archaeological park.

What Carnuntum looked like in its prime.

As a Roman city around 175 AD Carnuntum presents sprawling stone and brick construction with multistorey public buildings and houses faced in white or ochre plaster, red clay-tiled roofs, paved streets and broad colonnaded squares. The amphitheatre is a massive oval of tiered stone seating; the triumphal Heidentor is a monumental multi-arched masonry gateway; the palace and baths show large vaulted halls and open courtyards; timber scaffolds and market stalls clustered in the civilian canabae outside the legionary compound.
