Castra of Cristești
Fort in the Roman province of Dacia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although not unanimously accepted, the existence of the castra of Cristești in the Roman province of Dacia is substantiated by bricks and tiles bearing the name of a Roman military unit, the Ala I Gallorum et Bosporanorum.[1] The lack of any other traces of the Roman fort may easily be due to its destruction by the Mureș River.[1] At Cristeşti, a Roman settlement from the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD was unearthed which was an important center of potters.[1]
