Pietroasele Fort
The castra of Pietroasele (also called Pietroasa de Jos) was a Roman fort in Roman Dacia located in the centre of Pietroasele (Romania). It was built under Trajan after Trajan's Dacian Wars in about 106 AD but abandoned at the beginning of Hadrian's reign when Wallachia was given up to the Roxolani. It was used again at the beginning of the 3rd century in the reign of Caracalla. It was rebuilt by Constantine the Great after his victory over the Goths in 328 when Constantine created the Constantine Wall of the Dacian Limes. It was abandoned in the same century. It measured 124x158 m with walls 2.7 m thick. It was situated well beyond the Danubian Limes and was connected to bridge-head forts (Sucidava, castra of Tirighina-Bărboși, and the unlocated Constantiniana Daphne) along the left bank of the Danube river. The baths at Pietroasele are located some 500 m east of the fort and built in the first years of the 2nd century AD, and reused during the 4th century AD. Some st ...

List Of Castra
Castra (Latin, singular castrum) were military forts of various sizes used by the Roman army throughout the Empire in Europe, Asia and Africa. The largest castra were permanent legionary fortresses. Locations The disposition of the castra reflects the most important zones of the empire from a military point of view. Many castra were disposed along frontiers particularly in Northern and Central Europe. Another focal point was the Eastern border, where the Roman Empire confronted one of its long-term enemies, the Persian Empire. Other castra were located in strategically important zones, as in Egypt, from which most of the wealth of the empire came. Finally, other castra were located in zones in which the Romans experienced local unrest, such as Northern Spain and Judea. Provinces where the Roman power was unchallenged, such as Italy, Gaul, Africa and Greece, were provided with few or no castra. In the long history of the Roman Empire, the character of the military policy of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Constantiana Daphne
Daphne was a Roman fortification inaugurated, most probably in 327, on the left bank of the Danube, across Transmarisca, in the delta of the Arges river. In 367, emperor Valens crossed the Danube at Daphne using a pontoon bridge. Chronicler George Kedrenos, recounting the fight between the Varangians of Sveinald (Sviatoslav) and Emperor Ioan Tzimiskes in 971, mentioned the existence of wheat and millet sowings in the regions on the left bank of the Danube, which proves that this area was inhabited by a sedentary population. Encircled in Durostor (today Silistra), the Varangian armies supplied themselves at night with these grains and fodder transported from the opposite bank of the Danube. The same chronicler wrote that: "there came to him (before the emperor) from Constantia and other fortresses built beyond the Istru, messengers asking forgiveness for the evil deeds committed, surrendering together with those fortresses; receiving them gently, the emperor sent men to take posses ...

Sucidava
Sucidava (Sykibid, Skedevà after Procopius of Caesarea,Olga Karagiorgou Σucidava after Vasile Pârvan, where Σ is pronounced "sh") was a Dacian and Daco-Roman city situated in Corabia, Romania, on the north bank of the Danube. It developed from the 270s AD and especially after the construction of Constantine's Bridge the northern side of which it protected.

Danubian Limes
The Danubian Limes (), or Danube Limes, refers to the Roman military frontier or '' limes'' which lies along the River Danube in the present-day German state of Bavaria, in Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. The Danube was not always or everywhere used by the Romans as the military frontier which was moved north or south in some locations according to military conquests, but it was maintained in many places as a fairly permanent defensive structure for long periods. The border was reinforced with numerous watchtowers, legion camps (''castra'') and forts (''castella''). Due to the boggy and dendritic nature of the Danube's river banks no border ramparts were built, unlike the Neckar-Odenwald Limes in Germany. The camps were built in the mid-1st century. Later, under Trajan, the camps, which had originally only been surrounded by earthen embankments, were enclosed by stone walls. A Roman road, the Danube Way () was laid along the ''limes'', which ...
