| IPTC INFO | | Caption | Ptuj is one of the oldest cities in Slovenia. It dates back to the Stone Age and was settled by Celts by the Late Iron Age.[1] By the 1st century BC the settlement was controlled by Ancient Rome. In 69 AD Vespasian was elected Roman Emperor by his legions in Ptuj and the first written mention of the town of Ptuj is from the same year. The city of Poetovio was the base-camp of Legio XIII Gemina in Pannonia. The name originated in the times of Emperor Trajan who granted the settlement city status and named it Colonia Ulpia Traiana Poetovio in 103. The city had 40 000 inhabitaunts until it was plundered by the Huns in 450.[1] _________________________________ Picture taken on August 2005. c 2005 by Marcin Gierszner who hereby grant the permission to copy distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections no Front-Cover Texts and no Back-Cover Texts.
