Because of its position at the crossing of important water and road ways, by the arterial road, the amber-road, Poetovio became, soon after the arrival of Romans, one of the biggest centers in Pannonia. The town was settled by officials, merchants and others, and they brought different cultures, religions and habits into the town which had a strong influence on the life in Poetovio. The researches in the area of today’s Ptuj and Hajdina confirm this influence on the construction of Poetovio’s public and private buildings. Many buildings were decorated with frescos and mosaics. Among architectural remains there were different building elements from marble, sandstone; they used columns and stringers decorated with various ornaments and images.Zbog svog smještaja na križanju važnih plovnih i cestovnih putova, pokraj glavne ceste, jantarne ceste, Poetovio je postao, ubrzo po dolasku Rimljana, jedno od najvećih središta u Panoniji. U taj grad doselili su se službenici, trgovci i drugi, i sa sobom donijeli različite kulture, vjere i običaje, što je snažno utjecalo na život u Poetoviju. Istraživanja na području današnjega Ptuja i Hajdine potvrđuju taj utjecaj na izgradnju javnih i privatnih zgrada u Poetoviju. Mnoge su zgrade ukrašene freskama i mozaicima. Među građevinskim ostatcima nalaze se različiti građevni elementi od mramora, pješčenjaka, koristili su stupove i mosnice ukrašene različitim ornamentima i likovima
