Story · Early Christian Necropolis of Pécs (Sopianae)

You're standing on Szent István tér in Pécs, the cathedral square. It looks like an ordinary town square, but beneath your feet lies one of the most important Roman cemeteries outside Italy. Some sixteen hundred years ago this was the Roman town of Sopianae, and this spot was its burial ground, just north of town.
