Roman Military Town
In 1950 the remains of the Roman military camp belonging to the Roman town of Aquincum were discovered to the south of Flórian tér. As well as remains of buildings dating from the 2nd to the 4th C tools, various vessels and sarcophagi were also found. Also of interest are the remains of an under floor hot-air heating system.
Villa of Hercules
In the 1950s and 1960s the ruins of a magnificent Roman villa (probably dating from the 3rd C AD) were excavated. The mosaics discovered here, which are among the finest ever found in Hungary, depict scenes from the Hercules myth and the Dionysus saga. The sarcophagi exhibited in the garden of the archaeological museum were probably made in the 3rd and 4th centuries.
