Teurnia

Teurnia was a major Roman municipium in western Carinthia, Austria, situated on a hill at modern St. Peter im Holz near Spittal an der Drau. Granted municipium status under Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD), it featured a forum, baths approximately 48 metres long, and a temple dedicated to Grannus. At its peak the city housed around 30,000 inhabitants and later became the capital of Noricum Mediterraneum and an episcopal see. The most significant discovery is an Early Christian cemetery church with an ornamental floor mosaic dating to circa 500 AD, unique in the eastern Alpine region.
