Carnuntum - Carnuntum Carnuntum (Kapvoiis in Ptolemy) was an important Roman fortress, originally belonging to Noricum, but after the 1st century AD to Pannonia. It was a Celtic town, the name, which is nearly always found with K on monuments, being derived from Kar, Karn ("rock," "cairn"). Its extensive ruins may still be seen near Hainburg, between Deutsch-Altenburg and Petronell, in lower Austria. Its name first occurs in history during the reign of Augustus (AD 6), when Tiberius made it his base of operations in the campaigns against Maroboduus (Marbod). A few years later it became the centre of the Roman fortifications along the Danube from Vindobona (Vienna) to Brigetio (O-Szdny), and (under Trajan or Hadrian) the permanent quarters of the XIV legion. It was also a very.

Samo - The Slavs led by King Samo managed to defeat all Avar attacks, but after the Slavs had killed some Frankish merchants and had stolen some of their commodities, they had to fight against the Franks: In 631, the Frankish king Dagobert I Merovingian (603-639, reigned 629-639) sent three armies against King Samo. One of the armies - the biggest one from Austrasia (Avstrazia) - was defeated by the Slavs led by King Samo at the (today unknown) castle Wogastisburg (Vosgate Castle) when trying to attack the center of Samo's Empire. As a result, Samo even invaded Frankish Thuringia several times and undertook looting raids there. The Sorbian prince Dervan joined Samo after this success. The location of the Wogastisburg is still strongly disputed (castles in Bohemia, castles at the Danube, the.
Marcomanni - other peoples which included the Quadi, Vandals, and Sarmatians against Rome. This was driven probably by greater tribal movements like the Goths to their north and east. According to the historian Eutropius, the forces of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius battled against the Marcomannic confederation for three years at the fortress of Carnuntum in Pannonia. He compared the war and Marcus Aurelius' success against the Marcomanni and their allies to the Punic Wars. The comparison was fair in that this war marked a turning point and had significant Roman defeats. It began in 166 and lasted to the end of Marcus Aurelius's death, involving the unheard-of defeats and the death of two Praetorian Guard commanders. It was in fact only a limited success since from the next century onwards the Danube was.
Mithraism - a man. This man is also shown as being born or rising from a rock (typically with a snake wrapped around it). Some speculation includes that this rock symbolizes the outside of the cave of the cosmos, hence the description of this god as 'rising from the dead'. Other depictions show Mithras carrying a rock on his back, much as Atlas did, and showing him wearing a cape that had the starry sky along its inside lining. The earliest evidence to which a date may be assigned for the worship of Mithras is the late 1st century A.D. . This is from a record of Roman soldiers who came from the military garrison at Carnuntum near the Danube River in the modern area of Hungary (the Roman province of Upper Pannonia)..
