Well, historically they were not in Budapest but in Aquincum. Now they are located under a highway overpass near the remains of the South gate (porta principalis dextra).
Over to you, Miha.

Quote:I have no idea, but it is beautiful.
Jona's quiz has certainly uncovered some fascinating sites from everyone's photo collection.

Yes, that seems to be Mike himself.
