Ein Römer in Hévíz (SSVC)

About the location

The Romans brought many things that are still used today with them to the areas they conquered, including knowledge of balneology (healing baths). When they conquered the area of ​​present-day Hungary around 2000 years ago, where Illyrians, Thracians, Pannonians and Dacians lived alongside Celts, they began to use the warm, mineral-rich, slightly radioactive springs of Lake Hévíz. The daily bath is said to have even helped the later Emperor Flavius ​​to fully recover from polio. They also built a thermal bath that became a socio-cultural center and was used for commercial and therapeutic purposes - and is still used today (in a more modern version). As archaeological finds have shown, there were even settlements that mainly provided the infrastructure for the associated logistics. In addition to bathing, the Romans also loved wine. So it is not surprising that in 1925 archaeologists discovered an almost completely preserved skeleton in a vineyard in Egregy of all places. Who was the unfortunate man and how did he die? To this day there are only speculations.
