History
On the left banks of the Danube near the village of Izsa, 4 kilometers from the place where the Vág river flows into the Danube.It was the bridgehead of the legionary camp of Brigetio, part of the Limes Romanus. It belonged to the province of Pannonia.
The first Roman fort on the left banks of the Danube was built during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (168-180) in the war against the markomanns. The fort was made of earth and wood and was destroyed in a fire caused by the attack of the Germanic tribes. At the end of the 2nd century a stone fort was built (castellum), that was seriously damaged in a war in the middle of the 3rd century. In the 4th century during the period of the Constantines the fort was reinforced and reconstructed.
The last reconstruction was carried out under Emperor Valentinian I between 364-365. After the death of the emperor the fort was raided or abandoned. At the turn of the 5th century it was inhabitad by Germanic people.
