List Of Castra In Romania
Roman castra in Romania were forts built by the Roman army following the conquests of Moesia, Scythia Minor (Roman province), Scythia Minor and Dacia, parts of which are now found in the territory of modern Romania. Many of these castra were part of various Limes (Roman Empire), limes (a border defense or delimiting system). The vast majority of these forts were built for garrisons of ''Auxilia'' of non-citizen regiments of nominally 500 men. The castra not yet identified, have the name of the modern location in italics and parenthesis (i.e. ''(Pietroasele)''), while major ones are in bold (i.e. Porolissum).

Gate Porolissum
A gate or gateway is a point of entry to or from a space enclosed by walls. The word derived from old Norse "gat" meaning road or wikt:path, path; But other terms include ''yett and portal (architecture), port''. The concept originally referred to the gap or hole in the wall or fence, rather than a Barricade, barrier which closed it. Gates may prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals, or they may be merely decorative. The moving part or parts of a gateway may be considered "Door, doors", as they are fixed at one side whilst opening and closing like one. A gate may have a latch (hardware), latch that can be raised and lowered to both open a gate or prevent it from swinging. Locks are also used on gates to increase the security. Larger gates can be used for a whole building, such as a castle or fortified town. Actual doors can also be considered gates when they are used to block entry as prevalent within a gatehouse. Today, many gate doors are opened by an Electric ga ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
