Cruise along the river was able to provide many benefits and after the Romans moved their interests to the entire flow of the river after Augustus‘ conquests, the Danube became an important transportation artery and thus a trade route as well. Until that time, the ancient, especially the Greek trade focused only on the lower stream. The submitted study provides an overview of transportation on the river, types of ships that used it and suggests the significance of the Danube in the development of trade in individual provinces spread across its stream and in short also states the system of fees introduced on the river.
