Castra Romula

About

The Roman city of Romula lay on an earlier Dacian city called Malva. It received the title of municipium during the rule of Hadrian (117–138) and the title of colonia during that of Septimius Severus (193–211).

The city had two belts of fortifications and two castra, part of the Limes Alutanus frontier system and where soldiers of the Legiones VII Claudia and XXII Primigenia were temporarily stationed, alongside a permanent unit ( numerus ) of Syrian archers.
