In the days of the Romans Vienna was called Vindobona and had a Roman military camp which hosted the tenth legion Gemina. The layout of the streets of the First District of Vienna show where the encampment had its walls and moats. The Romans stayed until the 5th century. The layout of early medieval Vienna followed the former Roman walls. There are remains of other Roman settlements and Roman bridges.

Austria did not exist in antiquity.

The kingdom of Noricum was incorporated into the Roman Empire as a client kingdom of Rome in 16 B.C. It remained a client kingdom until 43 A.D. when it was annexed by the emperor Claudius. It became the Roman province of Noricum. This kingdom included most of present day Austria and part of modern Slovenia.

In the western part of present day Austria, most of the Tirol was part of Rhaetia, which also included eastern and central Switzerland , southern Bavaria, Upper Swabia and Vorarlberg in present day Germany, , and part of Lombardy in present day Italy. It is now known when Rhaetia became a client kingdom of Rome. It became part of the Roman Empire when it was subjugated in 15 B.C. by the Roman generals Tiberius and Drusus.

What are negative things in Ancient Rome?

When speaking about ancient Rome, it is proper to make judgements based on the context of ancient times and other ancient empires. Based on one's subjectivity, ancient Rome's "negatives" as asked in the question can be many or few, once again based on a person's point of view. In my view two negatives stand out: one are the gladiator combats for "entertainment". As far as I know, most ancient empires did not have this type of entertainment. Another negative in my view was the use of massive slavery. Many ancient civilizations had slaves, no question about that. However, in ancient Rome slavery was an institution that ancient Rome grew to be almost an addiction. Taken as a whole however, it is my view that in terms of ancient empires, the Roman empire had more positives than negatives taken in the context of its time in history.
