Castrum Partiscum, Roman fort complex in Szeged, Hungary

The stone foundations of Castrum Partiscum stretch across the southern area of Szeged, marking the ancient western border of Roman Dacia along the Marisus river.

During Emperor Antoninus Pius reign from 138 to 161, the Romans established this garrison to control trade routes and maintain defense against local Iazyges tribes.

Archaeological excavations at Castrum Partiscum revealed silver coins, decorated antefixum fragments, and floor tiles that demonstrate Roman architectural methods in provincial territories.

The Ferenc Móra Museum in Szeged houses the Roman artifacts discovered at Castrum Partiscum, including brick stamps, votive altars, and sculptural decorations.

The fort held a strategic position at the confluence of the Tisza and Maros rivers, functioning as both a military outpost and center for salt trading.
