Comments:
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 Matrica , the Roman name of the fort in Százhalombatta, Hungary. The fortress was built during the time of the emperor Trajan (end of the first century AD), and existed until the beginning of the fifth century AD.

In the next photo taken on the same day, part of the line of fortresses was seen, with the route of the Danube River between the various plates Click for a larger image
