Aquincum Museum- Budapest
Remnants of the Roman Civilian Town
The civilian town at Aquincum probably evolved towards the end of the 1st century – reaching its zenith during the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
The archaeological excavations which have uncovered about one-third of this ancient walled town, have, beside the dwellings, also unearthed the remnants of public buildings – particularly those of public baths.
The majority of dwellings were serviced with a reticulated water supply and drainage system, and had under-floor central-heating.

The Museum (which dates from 1894), and the surrounding ruins, provide an opportunity to study the surviving monuments from this Roman town.
The exhibition in the Museum displays a variety of relics uncovered at the site, both of practical and of a cultic nature. The reconstructed, famous Aquincum water-organ, merits a special mention.
