Roman City Carnuntum in Carnuntum/Petronell

Carnuntum: all the reconstructed buildings were furnished and had FRESH fruit and vegetables! Staff goes around every day to replace the food, if necessary.

Canuntum: Reconstructions have been erected using experimental archaeology. Building work was able to be carried out partly by using original Roman stonework and with reconstructed Roman tools using ancient building technology and craft skills. All technical facilities in the buildings are fully functioning. Reconstruction was only done where enough evidence of the appearance was given by the findings.

Canuntum: All buildings as well as the level of the streets correspond to the circumstances of the first half of the 4th century AD. Decorative details and furniture of that period.

Functioning underfloor heating system were made as an archaeological experiment in a reconstructed kiln in the Roman city quarter, using original pieces as models. The roof tiles based on original finds were reproduced in a specialised tile factory.

A shoe rack with shoes like they used at the Roman period.

The Tepidarium with running warm water!

Carnuntum: all the decoration is made to be like it was over 1600 years ago. Extensive remains of the original wall paintings enabled the partial reconstruction of wall and ceiling decor in the houses. Very little wooden furniture has survived (due to the nature of the material) but this has been reconstructed based on written and illustrated sources as well as preserved originals from other museums.
