Carnuntum was a pivotal Roman city situated on the banks of the Danube in present-day Lower Austria. As the capital of the province of Pannonia, it thrived due to its location along the Amber Road, a vital trade route connecting regions in Central and Eastern Europe. The city served as a crucial administrative, economic, and military center, boasting impressive structures like baths, forums, and temples. Despite its prosperity, Carnuntum declined due to barbarian invasions and turmoil during the fall of the Roman Empire. Its archaeological remnants now stand as major historical sites, bearing witness to its glorious past and attracting history and archaeology enthusiasts.
