After having regard to the Roman road system and the hydrology of the area, two larger settlements with several stone buildings can be considered in Páty and Biatorbágy.

With this the possibility arises to separate them from the smaller autochthonous villages without stone buildings, called vici beforehand, and the villas with stone buildings. We can summarize that the three vici, what lies in a nearly same distance to each other (6 km), has a similar location (next to the stream and the road), age and periodization. All of them has Celtic origins and a continuous development through the 1st century. The construction of stone buildings started early, in the first third of the 2nd century under the rule of Hadrianus. They were destroyed during the Marcomannic Wars and after the rebuilding in the Severus era the former vici continued its existence, getting even stronger, instead of establishing a villa in the location of the autochthonous village. In the 250s a Barbarian attack occurred as the coin hoards show (Biatorbágy and Budaörs), then the settlements life continued from the last third of the 3rd century to the end of the 4th century with a continuous development.The destruction of the settlements is signified by the skeletons found in pits, and other finds that can be dated to the beginning of the 5th century, such as bone comb, polished pottery, etc. Based on the stone inscriptions and jewellery, the population consists of the local elite as well as the veterans and other elements from the western part of the Empire in the early Roman period. After the Marcomannic Wars the inscriptions show the leading significance of the magistrates and soldiers from Aquincum.
