Castra Matrica, Roman military fort in Százhalombatta, Hungary.
The rectangular fortification measures 152 by 155 meters and features rounded corners with watchtowers at each position along the defensive walls.
The fort operated from Emperor Trajan's reign until the early 5th century CE as part of the Pannonian Limes defense system along the Danube.
Archaeological findings include building materials, pottery, coins, and inscriptions that document the daily life of Roman soldiers stationed at this outpost.
The preserved Roman bath complex, discovered in 1876, displays intricate heating and drainage systems with brick stamps from the Legio II Adiutrix.
The fort divided into two sections: one for infantry cohorts and another for cavalry units, adapting to different military requirements over time.
