Roman roads in Hungary
Roman Hungary was the Transdanubian part of Pannonia, and its roads exist to serve the Danube frontier. The limes road ran along the river past the legionary fortresses at Aquincum, now within Budapest and later the capital of Pannonia Inferior, and Brigetio, while the amber route ran south from the Baltic through Savaria to Italy, carrying a trade older than Rome itself.
What to see
Aquincum, in the Óbuda district of Budapest, has a museum built around the excavated civil town, complete with an amphitheatre and the reconstructed pipes of a Roman water organ found on the site. Gorsium at Tác and the Danube forts along the limes fill in the rest, and the amber route south toward Italy is traceable across Transdanubia.
