Vindobŏna

Now Vienna; the German Wien. A town in Pannonia, on the Danube, originally a Keltic place, and subsequently a Roman municipium. Under the Romans it became a town of importance; it was the chief station of the Roman fleet on the Danube, and the headquarters of a Roman legion. Here the emperor Marcus Aurelius died in A.D. 180. The place was taken and sacked by Attila (Ptol.ii. 15, 3; Iornand. Get. 50).
