The Roman Castrum of Pietroasele

The Roman Castrum of Pietroasele is a fortification built by Emperor Constantine the Great in 332 AD, as part of a campaign to defend Constantinople. Located in Pietroasele, this site was discovered by accident in the 1990s, leading to archaeological research that uncovered Roman baths with a hypocaust system and four Roman necropolises.
