38. THE REMAINS OF ROMAN CITY ROMULA
Romula-Malva archaeological site is located on the territory of Dobrosloveni commune, Olt county, near Caracal, on the right bank of Olt. The site presents the vestiges of a Roman fortification (Romula) built in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD on the site of a Dacian fortress (Malva), around which an urban settlement later developed. During the reign of Emperor Hadrian, Romula was declared municipium. Today, the archaeological site comprises edifices in various conservation stages: stone and brick walls, canal with Roman bridge, gates of the city, Roman baths, the curia. However, a variety of artifacts are exhibited in the Caracal Romanati Museum.
