Maráz Borbála: Marcus Aurelius bronz császárportré a római kori Lugioból. (Pécs, 1997.)

development of Pannonian towns, the recovery of trade and building activities fall into the reign of Septimius Severus (193-211). The limes was reorganized, more forts and towers were built because of the new threats from the eastern barbarians during the reigns of the emperors Diocletian and Constantine in the early 4th century. The Roman LUGIO, an auxiliary camp on the limes along the Danube, was established in the territory of the modern DUNASZEKCSŐ. The Roman fort was built on the top of the highest hill of the loess-area, on the Várhegy (Castle-Hill) immediately on the Danube bank. Due to the successive falls of the bank the eastern half of the camp has already been washed away by the river, leaving only the about 170 m wide western part of it to survive. The limes road coming from the north skirted the camp on the western side and led into it after a turn from southward. A military camp at Lugio appears to have been built in the late 1st century AD. It was then when the legions were transferred to the limes on the Danube and more auxiliary camps also were established. The cohors II Breucorum and part of the legio II adiutrix stationed here in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The importance of Lugio is attested by two edicts issued here by Diocletian on 5th November 293 AD. The name of the Roman camp at Dunaszekcső changed from Lugio for Florentia in the Late Roman period. The reason of this alteration is unknown so far. Forts on the left bank were also built opposite the military camps at the important crossing-places. The counter-fortification of CONTRA FLORENTIAM (at modern Dunafalva) opposite Lugio was built in the Late Roman period. The remains of this fort with two towers can be seen when the Danube is low. The fort of 59 x 85 m size may well have been a military port or landing place. From here started a road that ran towards Dacia crossing the modern Szeged.
