The Roman milestone recalls the importance of Carnuntum as a major traffic hub on the northern border of the Roman Empire. Such stone road markers stood along Roman long-distance roads and indicated distances in Roman miles, with one mile corresponding to approximately 1.48 kilometers. They often also bore inscriptions with the names of the emperors under whose rule roads were built or maintained. The milestone provides an impression of the well-developed road network that connected Carnuntum with other cities and military sites of the Roman Empire.
