Fascinating for fans of ancient Roman gravestones: The lapidarium at the walls of Seggau Castle (Schloss Seggau). You find this castle in Seggauberg, a place in the Styrian city of Leibnitz. More artefacts of the Romans are shown at the Roman Museum in Wagna nearby.

Lucius’ house in Carnuntum
The building is a reconstruction of the home of a middle-class citizen of the ancient Roman Carnuntum. His name was probably Lucius Maticeius Clemens. The reconstruction shows the house in the style of the first half of the 4th century.
Roman sewer cover in Petronell-Carnuntum
While walking through the archaeology park of Carnuntum, I found this reconstruction of a Roman sewer cover. It is much smaller than the one I saw in the Roman Museum of Vienna.
Roman inscription in Trenčín
In the winter of 179/180, Marcus Valerius Maximianus and the Roman Legio II Adiutrix camped in the Vah valley. They were on a campaign against the Quadi at this time. They left this inscription on a rock of the later Trenčín. [German]
Roman Museum in Wagna
The Roman Museum of Wagna is located right above the remains of the former Roman settlement Flavia Solva. Thus, you can simultaneously look at the ancient walls below your feet and some Roman pieces that have been found there.
City walls of Sopron
Parts of the uncovered city walls of Sopron are dating back to the Roman period. In Roman times the city was known as Scarbantia and served as a marketplace along the Amber Road. [German]
Roman wall of Ljubljana
On a sunny day in autumn, I walked along the reconstructed Roman city wall of Ljubljana. During the Roman period, the name of this place was Colonia Iulia Aemona or just Emona.
