Budapest was created by the merging of two towns on the river Danube, of Buda and Óbuda on the right shore of the river and Pest on the left. In Roman times, Budapest was called Acquinicium, and the settlement was the capital of Pannonia Inferior. In the spot where Pest is located today there used to be a roman town called Contra Aquincium. This area was a popular spot for artisans in Ancient Rome, especially bronze casters and potters. Coins were found in archeological localities in the area, which show that Budapest was, in the 2nd and 3rd century BC, a merchant town. The first Christians to settle in Budapest were Romans, and it was at this time that awareness of the religion started to raise. The Danube used to represent one of Rome’s borders, which means that many historical wars for succession took place in Budapest.
