You're standing on the Zollfeld, a flat valley in Carinthia, just outside Maria Saal. It might look like ordinary farmland, but almost two thousand years ago a Roman city stood here: Virunum. Look over towards the slope of Töltschach Hill to the east. That's where the city had a proper theatre with a stage, the only one known in the whole of Noricum, and an oval amphitheatre.
