|Marcus| |Aurelius|, |Marcus| |Aurelius,| |7| |March| |161| |-| |17| |March| |180| |A.D.|, In 179 A.D., Marcus Aurelius drove the Marcomanni over the Danube and reinforced the border. To repopulate and rebuild a devastated Pannonia, Rome first allowed German colonists to settle within the Roman Empire. The Roman fort Castra Regina ("fortress by the Regen river") was built on the right bank of the Danubeat Regensburg, in Germany. Roman legionaries of Legio II Adiutrix engraved on the rock of the Trencín Castle in Slovakia the name of the town Laugaritio, marking the northernmost point of Roman presence in that part of Europe.
