Aim of the exhibition is to present the site Danube Limes in Slovakia – Ancient Roman Monuments on the Middle Danube, currently prepared for nomination on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The site was part of a vast system of frontiers of the Roman Empire, which were formed in this part of Europe by the river Danube. An ingenious system of the Roman frontiers in the framework of a river border is documented in the territory of Slovakia by two Roman forts – Roman Military Camp (Fort) Gerulata in Bratislava - Rusovce and Roman Military Camp (Fort) in Iža – “Kelemantia“ which are introduced by this exhibition. It informs about their values, historical development and the history of their discovery through archaeological research. The exhibition also presents the broader context of the frontiers of the Roman Empire in Europe as well as the hinterland of both forts. The exhibition was prepared within the framework of the project Danube Limes – UNESCO World Heritage, No. 1CE079P4 implemented through the Central Europe Programme and co-financed by the ERDF. Opening of the exhibition took place on 19th April 2012 at the Museum Gerulata in Rusovce, in the presence of the President of the Slovak Republic, Mr. Ivan Gašparovič.
