A previously unknown Roman city has been discovered in modern Austria on the Danube frontier. It is estimated that the city last from about AD 80 till AD 180. A large amphitheater seating about 8000 people was discovered (pictured above).

Researchers suspect the site may be Claudivium, a town recorded by Ptolemy. Coin evidence suggests abandonment around the death of Marcus Aurelius, when Commodus shifted frontier strategy.
