Archaeological excavations have uncovered valuable artifacts demonstrating the fort’s long history. Notable finds include a bronze head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius and an early Christian glass beaker with inscription, indicating both imperial presence and early religious activity in the area. These and other treasures are now preserved in museums in Pécs and Budapest. The site itself is protected as a nationally significant cultural heritage site, reflecting its strategic, historical, and archaeological importance.
Today, Castrum Lugio is recognized for its role in the broader history of Roman military organization in the region and for offering insights into the daily life and material culture of Roman and pre-Roman communities.
