VETUS SALINA
ADONY

The Pannonian Limes is a part that is mostly found in Hungary from the Roman front line known as the Danubian Limes, a line of castles and fortifications along the Danube River. The fortification line included guard towers, legionnaires’ camps (castra) and forts (castella).

The plaques are located in the March 15 square in Budapest where one of the camps stood, describing the relative location of the camps along the Danube which is also drawn on the sidewalk.

The current plaque shows Vetus Salina, the Roman name of the fort in Adony, Hungary. The fortress was built during the reign of Emperor Vespasian (in the second half of the first century AD), and survived until the beginning of the fifth century AD.

Notice the two lines representing the Danube River on the right side of the plaque.
