The author describes regions, routes and populations in what's today
Eastern Austria and Slovenia. Manching lies in the middle of
Bavaria, 82 km North of Munich (Hauptbahnhof), outside of Ingolstadt
(South of it). Vohburg, where Paar meets the Danube, lies also close
to Manching and Ingolstadt, East of them (all three about 80-85 km
North of Munich. The starting point of Paar (Kaltenberg, Geltendorf):
57 km West of Munich, 31 km South of Augsburg and near the lake of
Ammersee).
Between this Augsburg-Munich-Ingolstadt area and the area of
Ljubljana the distance is pretty long.
Munich - Nauportus (Vrhnika = Oberlaibach, Slovenia): 418 km.
I assume, in the 1st c. BCE it must have been a few hundred km
longer, since travelers hardly could cross Austrian mountain ranges
that are crossed today, e.g. via this route (North-North-West--South-
South-East):
route (505 km): Ingolstadt- Munich - Rosenheim - Salzburg (Iuvavum) - Spittal an der Drau /= Drave/ (Teurnia/Tiburnia) - Villach (neighbo-
ring Zollberg = Virunum) - Kranj - Ljubljana (Emona; i.e., East of
Aquileia and Tergeste; neighboring Nauportus).
Iuvavum/Salzburg -<Eastwards>- Vindobona/Vienna: 315 km, via
Lentia/Linz.
In Roman times:
- "Römerstrasse III": betw. Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg) and
Ovilava (Wels) (in the direction to Lentia/Linz)

- other "vias" through Bavaria south- + south-eastwards into
Austria:

- Via Claudia (Augsburg -> Tirol)

Did Dacians defeat Taurisci and Boii in Bavaria? (in the vicinity
of Augsburg = Augusta Treverorum, Manching, Ingolstadt, Munich,
Salzburg and Linz)
Or rather in some area closer to Dacia (e.g. Noricum, Pannonia)?
Boiohemum, Noricum, Pannonia in the time of Marcomanian wars:
