Continue east to Viminacium, near the confluence of the Mlava and the Danube, where a Roman legionary camp grew into a provincial capital.

Signature moments

Where the legion stood

The Seventh Legion Claudia was based at Viminacium, on the Danube frontier of the empire. Excavations still continue each season, so what you see depends on the year's work, and your guide explains how the city fitted into Rome's defence of the river.
