BRIGETIO
SZŐNY

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 Brigetio, the Roman name of the old military camp in Szőny, Hungary. The Legionnaires ’Camp, also known as Brigetium or Bregetio, was established during the reign of Emperor Nero (first half of the first century AD) as a fortress, and became the Legionnaires’ camp in the second decade of the second century AD.
