Aquincum was not a small city though especially it was a military city because of its location: you can find it at the Danube Bend, totally at the shore of the River Danube. It’s a dangerous place, the end of the Imperium Romanum, the border, what the Romans called Limes (the terrestrial border of the Empire) or Ripa (means riverside border) Pannonica. On the other side of the Danube Celtic, German and Asian tribes inhabits, they are is a permanent move, so peace is az unknown concept here. This is the border, buffer zone of culures. The city of Aquincum was founded in the 1st century AC and was the capital city of Pannonia Inferior up to the 4th century. It was built on a Celtic settlement, so the Celts lived among the Romans and somehow they became Roamized: they learned the language and learned the customs, but the Romans integrated much of the Celtic religion, too.
