Carving in Slovakia
Exceptional and well preserved Roman inscription carved into the rock below Trencin castle. Dated to 179 it represents one of the few Roman written references north of the Danube and also proves long term presence of Romans in Central Europe.
When translated it says:
“To the victory of the emperors and the army of 855 soldiers of the Second Legion that was based at Laugaricio. Made to order of Marcus Valerius Maximianus, a legate of the Second Auxiliary Legion.”
This amazing monument can be reached through the main entrance of the Hotel Elizabeth on the second floor. Tourists welcomed..
