Acumincum was an ancient Roman settlement and military fort located in present-day Stari Slankamen, Serbia, on the banks of the Danube in the Roman province of Pannonia [1]. The site was originally inhabited by Celtic Scordisci people in the 3rd century BC before Roman conquest in the 1st century BC [1]. It functioned as a key fort along the Pannonian Limes, the Roman frontier defense system [1]. The name derives from the Latin "acumen" meaning point or projection, referring to the site's geographic position [1].
