Castrum Aequinoctium, Roman military fortification in Fischamend, Austria.

The Castrum Aequinoctium stands along the Danube River with stone walls and foundations that demonstrate ancient Roman military engineering and construction methods.

Built in the mid-first century AD, the fortification received stone wall upgrades during Emperor Trajan's reign to strengthen defenses against northern tribes.

The fort maintained connections with surrounding settlements, functioning as an administrative center while integrating local populations into the Roman economic system.

Archaeological remains at the site include structural foundations and wall sections that researchers study to understand Roman military architecture and defensive strategies.

Positioned fourteen kilometers from Carnuntum, this fort created a strategic defensive line that monitored river crossings and trade routes along the Danube.
