Flexum, Roman military camp in Mosonmagyaróvár, Hungary
Flexum was a Roman military fort located at the confluence of the Mosoni-Danube and Lajta rivers. The installation sat along a crucial defensive line that protected the empire's northern border in the region.
The Romans built this fort in the first century as part of their defensive strategy along the Danube frontier. The site remained important until the empire withdrew from the region, after which its location continued to influence the area.

The name Flexum refers to the characteristic river bend at this location, where the water curves sharply. This was no accident in site selection, but a strategic advantage for controlling movement on the waterway.
