Felix Romuliana – Access Routs and Comunications

Abstract

Felix Romuliana was situated, in the Roman period, in the immediate vicinity of the important road from Bononia to Horreum Margi and the crossing of the mentioned road and the communication connecting Naissus and Ratiaria. Its location as well as the more recent discovery of the ‘northern settlement’ resulted in certain distinctions regarding the connection of the fortification and main communication routes. It has been concluded that there were two access roads, which are chronologically close but their routes differ. The earlier road is related to the ‘northern settlement’ and the period of construction of Romuliana, while the other, later one, is related to the construction of the tetrapylon and the memorial complex at Magura
