As a military camp, Viminacium was founded at the first decades of the 1st century AD. Two Roman legions were stationed at the camp – IV Flavia legion and VII Caudia legion. Few years later civilian settlement was found which got the status of municipium in the 2nd century AD and became colony in the 3rd during the reign of the Emperor Gordianus. Viminacium was the capital of the Roman province Moesia Superior or Upper Moesia (Moesia Prima) in late antiquity with approximately 30,000 citizens. Position of the legionary camp at the northern bank of Danube which was the limes of Roman Empire toward barbarian tribes and fertile mouth of two rivers – Danube and Mlava together with the perfect strategic position at the most important ancient cross roads gained rich development to the city throughout the whole ancient period.
