A
Roman Military Amphitheatre
Built in the 2nd century for the Roman garrisons, this amphitheatre about 800m south of Flórián tér could accommodate up to 15,000 spectators and was larger than the Colosseum in Rome. The rest of the military camp extended north to Flórián tér. Archaeology and classical-history buffs taking bus 86 to Flórián tér should descend at III Nagyszombat utca. HÉV passengers should get off at Tímár utca.

Hercules Villa
Hercules Villa, in the middle of a vast housing estate northwest of Fő tér, is the name given to some reconstructed Roman ruins. The name is derived from the astonishing 3rd-century floor mosaics of Hercules’ exploits found in what was a Roman villa. Phone in advance; visits are usually by pre-arrangement only.
