1st – 4th century ADRome stops at the DanubeRím sa zastavil na Dunaji
SlovakiaSlovensko
For four centuries the Danube was the northern edge of the Roman Empire — the limes, a guarded frontier of forts, roads and watchtowers. Rome held the right bank and watched the Germanic tribes on the left; the auxiliary fort of Gerulata, built in the second century at today's Rusovce on the edge of Bratislava, and the camp at Iža near Komárno — that one on the northern, Slovak bank, facing the legionary base of Brigetio across the water — have both been part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing of the Danube frontier since 2021. The soldiers did cross the river: a fortified Roman post also stood on the crag of Devín. And in the year 179, during the wars against the Quadi and the Marcomanni, men of the Second Legion cut an inscription into the rock below Trenčín Castle recording the victory of an army of 855 soldiers stationed at a place called Laugaricio — the oldest surviving record of a place name on Slovak territory, still on the rock it names. Rome pulled back from the river in the fourth century and the Devín post was abandoned around the year 400.Štyri storočia bol Dunaj severnou hranicou Rímskej ríše — limes, strážená čiara táborov, ciest a strážnych veží. Rím držal pravý breh a spoza rieky sledoval germánske kmene na ľavom; pomocný tábor Gerulata, postavený v 2. storočí v dnešných Rusovciach na okraji Bratislavy, aj tábor pri Iži neďaleko Komárna — ten už na severnom, teda našom brehu, oproti légiovej pevnosti Brigetio — sú od roku 2021 súčasťou zoznamu svetového dedičstva UNESCO. Vojaci rieku prekračovali: opevnená rímska stanica stála aj na devínskom brale. A v roku 179, počas vojen s Kvádmi a Markomanmi, vytesali muži II. légie do skaly pod Trenčianskym hradom nápis o víťazstve vojska 855 mužov, ktoré sídlilo na mieste zvanom Laugaricio — najstarší zachovaný záznam miestneho názvu na Slovensku, stále na tej istej skale. V 4. storočí sa Rím od rieky stiahol a devínsku stanicu opustili okolo roku 400.
