Lower Austria
Carnuntum
Carnuntum was not a lonely Roman fort but a civilian and military metropolis on the middle Danube. This guide treats its reconstructions as evidence-based arguments rather than scenery: every officially listed reconstructed building in the Roman Quarter receives a full, non-repetitive chapter, followed by the arenas, Heidentor, military landscape and Museum Carnuntinum.
