In späterer Zeit bildete / sie als "Ungarische Poststrasse" die / wichtigste Verbindung der Reichshauptstadt / mit dem Südosten. /

Inscription
The Simmeringer Hauptstrasse coincides with / the military road of the Roman border defence line (Limes), built by the Romans in the first century. It led / from the permanent camp Vindobona via the estate / "Villa Gaii" (by the church of St. Laurenz) / and the castellum "Ala Nova" (Schwechat) / to Carnuntum. In later times, as the "Hungarian Post Road", it formed / the most important connection of the imperial capital / with the south-east. /
