Ancient Village or Settlement in Hungary
Gorsium-Herculia was a Roman town between Budapest and the Lake Balaton, near Székesfehérvár, 5 km away from the motorway M7. From the middle of the 1 st century a Roman military fortress controlled a road junction and the ford of the Sarvíz.
At the beginning of the 2nd century on the place of the military camp a town was built, which became the centre of the provincial assembly of Pannonia Inferior and that of the imperial cult.
