Dimitrescu, Gheorghe Petraşcu, Ion Ţuculescu, şi alţii.
Capidava
The Capidava fortress lies at half the distance between Hârşova and
Cernavodă. It has been erected during the Trajan ruling at the beginning
of the 2nd century a. D. like many other Roman camps and
fortresses from the Danube frontier. This camp is situated on the right
Danube shore near a river ford and has been constructed by the following
detachments and legions: the V Macedonica and the IX Claudia legion.
The Getan toponym (Capidava means “the fortress from the
turning place”) confirms a pre-Roman human existence that is also
archeologically proved in a settlement of such importance to
communication between the Dobruja Getans and the Muntenia Getans. The
geographical position of Capidava was very important from a
strategically point of view and has determined the settling of a
military station as well as the construction of a civilian center nearby
during the Roman epoch. The spot chosen for the fortification was the
most appropriate: a rocky, peninsular massif surrounded from three sides
by the Danube and the natural ditch.

Carsium (Hârşova)
From Ulmetum,
on the same road, you return to the national road and after
around 22 km, at the crossroads from Hanul Morilor you can
turn the left on the asphalted road which leads to Topalu (Capidava),
or you can continue on the road further, to Harsova. The
searches and the discoveries made in the last years proved
that Harsova and its surroundings represent one of the
richest archaeological centres of Dobrogea. There the
archaeologists found the ruins of a Roman fortification,
created by the Emperor Traian in 103 AD, and of a Byzantine
fortress built in the 10th – 11th c.
AD.
The
Byzantine stronghold, albeit
well preserved, was never too much explored. Some diggings
and especially inscriptions complete the architectural image
of the site.
The
underneath stronghold, located
in a block out of a cliff, is flanked by two huge columns
made of calcareous stone. There is a stone curtain of
entrenchment between these two strong points, the face of
the wall being made of small cubic blocks of stone.
