Vindobona

Vindobona was a Roman military camp (castra) on the site of modern Vienna, serving as a fortified base and local administrative centre in the province of Pannonia. Archaeological excavations in the city centre have revealed walls, building foundations, streets, canals and remains of barracks, public buildings and workshops from the 1st–5th centuries AD.

As it stood in AD 150

What Vindobona looked like in its prime.

At its 2nd-century height the castra formed a rectilinear complex of thick brick-and-stone defensive walls with regular towers and gateways, rectilinear streets leading from gates, long single-storey barrack ranges of brick and rubble, and larger masonry public buildings. Officers' houses and the legate's residence included columned courtyards and stone-flagged rooms; thermae contained tiled bathing chambers. The camp used fired brick, rubble masonry and baked-clay roof tiles, and sat beside engineered brick-lined canals and sewers.
