Viminacium Tour 1

Visit to Viminacium, the former Roman town and significant military camp as the main centre of defence of this part of the frontier from the 2. century A.D., nowadays an Archaeological Complex covering surface over 450 hectares, make a delightful experience for every visitor. There are remarkable archaeological excavations waiting to be discovered, such are Imperial Mausoleum, luxurious thermal baths covered with mosaics and fresco paintings of exceptional beauty, impressive number of tombs and graves as well as the numismatics and jewellery collections. Viminacium was devastated and destroyed in the middle of the 5th century, and it remained forgotten and buried like Pompeii, which disappeared under a flood of lava from Vesuvius in 79 A.D. That analogy and the recognition that the remains of the Roman town and the military camp represent a site of exceptional interest explains why Viminacium has been called the Balkan Pompeii….
