Roman fortress in Moravia, Roman archaeological site in Pasohlávky, Czech Republic

The Roman fortress on Hradisko hill near Pasohlávky is an earthwork legionary base from 175–180 AD, not a stone castle. Excavations uncovered a four-room command building and a small bathhouse with underfloor heating and painted plaster, plus kilns and a large refuse pit. Brick stamps of Legio X Gemina survive on the site.

The fort on Hradisko hill was built by soldiers of Marcus Aurelius around 175–180 AD, some 86 km north of Vindobona (Vienna), as a base deep in Marcomannic territory. Excavations since 1926 revealed heated baths, a four-room command building and kilns, and bricks stamped by Legio X Gemina. Historians link the site to a planned province of Marcomannia, abandoned after the emperor's death in 180.

The site reveals interactions between Roman soldiers and local peoples who coexisted and traded here. Visitors can observe how these two worlds lived side by side in the remains uncovered by excavation.

The site is located near Pasohlávky and is accessible on foot, with signage on the ground to help orientation. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the terrain is uneven and can be muddy in places.

The location represents one of the most northerly points where Rome ever extended its military reach and shows the limits of empire at that time. This position makes it a rare example of Roman presence in the heart of Europe.
