Petronell-Carnuntum is a community of Bruck an der Leitha in Austria. It is known for its proximity to the former Roman fort of Carnuntum.
==History== The village derives the second half of its name, Carnuntum, from the ancient Roman legionary fortress and headquarters of the Pannonian fleet from 50 AD, and later a large city of 50,000 inhabitants. thumb|Carnuntum Amphiteater|left A 2000-year-old amphitheatre, which was built outside the city walls around the late 2nd century is still partly standing. The arena was originally surrounded by stadium seating for 13,000 spectators. A hexagonal basin, speculated to be a baptismal font, was built in the 4th century AD.
