Hronský Beňadik (1920–1948: Svätý Benedik, 1948–1960: Svätý Beňadik; German: Sankt Benedikt; Hungarian: Garamszentbenedek, until 1888: Szentbenedek; Latin: Sanctus Benedictus) is a village in central Slovakia. It has a population of 1233 (2005). According to the local tourist information officer, this is the site referred to in what may be the first written mention of present-day Slovak territory. This version of events states that in 172 AD Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius had fought a victorious battle in Hronský Beňadik when it started 'raining fire'. The panic this created in his forces led some of the closet Christians among them to start praying, after which the deluge abated and Marcus Aurelius cut short his campaign. The incident was later recorded in the emperor's own memoirs. More information...
