The Roman fortress in Dunakeszi is a fascinating example of late antique military engineering. It is a so-called Ländeburgus – a fortified harbor facility directly on the banks of the Danube. The fortress was located on the left bank of the Danube, which at that time was actually outside the Roman Empire (in the so-called Barbaricum, the territory of the Germans and Sarmatians). It served as a bridgehead to secure the river crossing and monitor the movements of enemy tribes. Directly opposite, on Szentendre Island, was a counterpart to completely control the crossing.
