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 Azaum, the Roman name of the Military camp in Almásfüzítő, Hungary. Initially when the camp was established during the reign of the emperor Trajan (early 2nd century AD) it consisted mainly of wooden structures. In the second half of the second century it was upgraded to stone buildings. The camp existed until the beginning of the fifth century AD.

Notice the two lines representing the Danube River in the top left corner of the image.

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
