Óbuda - Aquincum 
The remains of the Roman town of Aquincum, founded in the 1st C AD on the west bank of the Danube - now on Szentendrei utca - have been systematically excavated since the 1870s. A considerable part of the former "municipium" is now accessible as an open-air museum.
About the year 10 BC the Romans occupied the territory of their later province of Pannonia.

A few years after the birth of Christ they built within the boundaries of Óbuda a military camp (see above), around which a civil town soon grew. The flourishing settlement of Aquincum became, as early as the beginning of the 2nd C., the principal town of the province of Pannonia Inferior. The Emperor Septimus Severus raised it to the status of a "colonia" in AD 194.
After the defeat of the Pannonian legions at Hadrianopolis in the year 378 Aquincum declined, and this decline was accelerated by increasing and violent attacks by the Barbarians.
