===Roman era=== Around 60 BC, the [[Celt]]ic [[Volcae]] people withdrew from the region and were succeeded by the [[Germanic peoples|Germanic]] [[Quadi]]. Some of the events of the [[Marcomannic Wars]] took place in Moravia in AD 169–180. After the war exposed the weakness of [[Limes Romanus|Rome's northern frontier]], half of the [[Roman legion]]s (16 out of 33) were stationed along the [[Danube]]. In response to increasing numbers of [[Germanic peoples|Germanic]] settlers in frontier regions like [[Pannonia (Roman province)|Pannonia]], [[Dacia]], Rome established two new frontier provinces on the left shore of the Danube, [[Marcomannia]] and [[Sarmatians|Sarmatia]], including today's Moravia and western [[Romans in Slovakia|Slovakia]]. In the 2nd century AD, a [[Roman fortress in Moravia (Mušov)|Roman fortress]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marcomannia.cz/PAGES/Musov_Burgstall.html|title=Detašované pracoviště Dolní Dunajovice – Hradisko u Mušova}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marcomannia.cz/PAGES/Burg_fortification.html|title=Opevnění – Detašované pracoviště Dolní Dunajovice, AÚ AV ČR Brno, v. v. i.}}</ref> stood on the vineyards hill known as {{langx|de|link=no|Burgstall}} and {{langx|cs|Hradisko}} ("[[hillfort]]"), situated above the former village [[Mušov]] and above today's beach resort at [[Pasohlávky]]. During the reign of the Emperor [[Marcus Aurelius]], the [[Legio X Gemina|10th Legion]] was assigned to control the Germanic tribes who had been defeated in the Marcomannic Wars.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kSnRD5X16zYC&q=Suchohrad+roman+fort&pg=PA893|title=Limes XX: Estudios sobre la frontera romana (Roman frontier studies)|first1=Norbert|last1=Hanel|first2=Ángel Morillo|last2=Cerdán|first3=Esperanza Martín|last3=Hernández|date=1 January 2009|publisher=Editorial CSIC – CSIC Press|via=Google Books|isbn=9788400088545}}</ref> In 1927, the archeologist Gnirs, with the support of president [[Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk]], began research on the site, located 80 km from [[Vindobona]] and 22 km to the south of Brno. The researchers found remnants of two masonry buildings, a ''[[praetorium]]''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marcomannia.cz/PAGES/Burg_mansio.html|title=Lázeňská a obytná budova – Detašované pracoviště Dolní Dunajovice, AÚ AV ČR Brno, v. v. i.}}</ref> and a ''[[Roman Baths (Bath)|balneum]]'' ("bath"), including a ''[[hypocaustum]]''. The discovery of bricks with the stamp of the [[Legio X Gemina]] and coins from the period of the emperors [[Antoninus Pius]], [[Marcus Aurelius]] and [[Commodus]] facilitated dating of the locality.
