Vindobona (from Gaulish windo"white" and bona "base/bottom") was a Roman military camp on the site of the modern city of Vienna in Austria. Henceforth, the Danube marked the border of the empire, and the Romans built fortifications and settlements on the banks of the Danube, including Vindobona with an estimated population of 15,000 to 20,000.[2][3] Civic communities developed outside the fortifications (canabae legionis), as well another community that was independent of the military authorities in today's third district.[citation needed] It has also been proven that a Germanic settlement with a large marketplace existed on the far side of the Danube from the second century onwards.[citation needed] Rebuilt after Germanic invasions in the second century, the town remained a seat of Roman government through the third and fourth centuries.[7][8] The population fled after the Huns invaded Pannonia in the 430s and the settlement was abandoned for several centuries.[9][10] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1626.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1626.txt
