Orientation in the Roman City Carnuntum
-
Roman City Quarter
Roman City Quarter
In the former Roman Civilan City of Carnuntum ideal type buildings of an ancient Roman city were reconstructed on the original location: a citizen's house, an upscale urban villa and public Roman baths. A semi reconstruction shields the only preserved floor mosaic which remained in Carnuntum from harsh weather conditions.
