AQUINCUM MUSEUM AND RUINS (AQUINCUMI MÚZEUM)

Around 90 AD, the Romans conquered part of present-day Hungary, which they called Pannonia. The city of Aquincum developed in the 2nd and 3rd centuries to become the capital of Lower Pannonia and had 14,000 inhabitants at its peak. The ruins of Aquincum reveal all its splendours. An exhibition evokes the cult of Mithra. The garden between the ruins has preserved the remains of the Roman forum, the public baths and the market.
