Limes Alutanus
The ''Limes Alutanus'' was a fortified line consisting of a vallum, built in the North-South direction, on the eastern side of the Olt river (Latin ''Alutus'') and seven Roman castra, as is remembered by Tabula Peutingeriana. Limes Alutanus was the eastern border of the Roman province of Dacia Superior. The fortification was ordered by the Roman emperor Hadrian, in order to stop invasions and raids from the east. The following seven castra positions were assumed by Romanian archeologist Vasile Pârvan, and later confirmed by archeological research. They are: * Pons Vetus ( Câineni, Vâlcea) * Praetorium ( Racovița, Vâlcea) * Arutela ("Poiana Bivolari" point, near Călimăneşti town) * Castra Traiana ( Sânbotin, Vâlcea) [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Castra Of Cincșor
The castra of Cincșor was a castra, fort in the Roman province of Roman Dacia, Dacia in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Location The ruins of this cohort fort are located about two kilometers east of the village Cincșor, commune Voila, Brașov, Voila, and about one kilometer north of the river Olt in the corridor "Burgstadt". In ancient times, it probably had the task of monitoring the movement of goods on the Olt and the Cincu Pass to the north. Nothing more of the Roman military camp can be seen in today's landscape. Finds During the archaeological excavations of the years 1974/1975 and 1979 to 1992, small trenches were dug determining the location of the fort. Two construction phases could be distinguished. It is possible that there was initially a wood-and-earth storage facility, which was later replaced by a stone fort. The stone fort had a rectangular ground plan but the dimensions could not be determined. On the west side of the stone fort, a defensive wall and four d ...

Acidava
Acidava (''Acidaua'') was a Dacian and later Roman fortress on the Olt river near the lower Danube. The settlements remains are located in today's Enoşeşti, Olt County, Oltenia, Romania. History After the Roman conquest of Dacia by Roman Emperor Trajan, Acidava became a civilian and military center, with castra being built in the area. Acidava was part of the Limes Alutanus, a line of fortifications built under emperor Hadrian running north–south along the ''Alutus'' – the Olt river. The function of the lines was to monitor the Roxolani to the east and deter any possible attacks. Acidava is depicted in the Tabula Peutingeriana between Romula and Rusidava. The same document depicts a second Acidava, between Cedoniae and Apula, but some authors believe it is actually a copy error and the correct name is Sacidava, another Dacian town.
