The sophisticated system of Roman Limes fortifications that protected the Roman Empire is 3000 km long in Europe, and the entire frontier stretches over 5000 km. Parts of it have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1987. The last section, the Danubian Limes, the western part, which includes Germany, Austria and Slovakia, was added in July 2021. Gerulata castle was located on the northern borders of the Roman Empire, in what is now the Bratislave-Ruscove city district. The fortified area of the frontier was a complete settlement unit with a castle, vicus, civil settlement, burial grounds and wider hinterland formed by the villas rustici. Archaeological finds also indicate a rich religious life with cults that spread across the empire, including Gerulata. The diversity of religious expression in Roman society did not lead to the creation of a unified religion. In the 3rd century BC, the Roman pantheon was enriched with Greek deities, and in the same period, at the time of the Second Punic War, Eastern Oriental cults reached Rome and were fully established by the 2nd century AD. Evidence of these cults was found in Gerulata on votive and tombstone monuments and also on everyday objects (lamps, vessels).
