Castrum Lugio, Roman military fort in Dunaszekcső, Hungary
The fort stands on a high loess plateau directly above the western bank of the Danube River, surrounded by the village of Dunaszekcső.
Emperor Diocletian visited the fort on November 5, 293 CE and issued two decrees, marking its significance in late Roman military operations.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed a life-sized bronze head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, now displayed at the Janus Pannonius Museum in Pécs.
The archaeological site contains remains of barracks, command centers, and fortification walls that demonstrate Roman military engineering techniques.
The settlement functioned as a transportation hub, with a major road crossing the river eastward into barbarian territory and extending toward Dacia.
