Roman archaeological discoveries in Hungary and Italy

Overview

Low water levels in the Danube River near Dunaújváros, Hungary, have led to the discovery of various Roman-era archaeological artifacts. Initial reports from the Intercisa Museum noted the emergence of a rare statue fragment and carved stone pieces.

Subsequent findings include a tombstone fragment, a limestone tablet, and altars dedicated to Jupiter and the sun god, Deus Sol. Other uncovered items feature stone fragments decorated with grape clusters and vines. While these discoveries in Hungary are linked to receding river levels, similar Roman archaeological highlights have been noted in Italy, where excavations for Rome’s Metro C line have unearthed ancient barracks, baths, and a large 3rd-century BC agricultural water reservoir.
