Summary[edit]

Description

4th-6th century Byzantine capital from Civitas Tropaensium or Tropaeum Traiani municipium [Roman province of Scythia Minor], now in the Adamclisi Archaeological Museum, Dobruja region, Romania

Tropaeum Traiani municipium was founded by emperor Trajan after the Roman-Dacian wars at the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. and rebuilt by emperors Constantine the Great and Licinius in the 4th century A.D. It became an important Christian religious center as it was a bishopric seat at the middle of the 4th century. Four large city basilicas are placed along via principalis. The city diminished in importance after the Avar invasions in the 7th cent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civitas_Tropaensium
