...Overshadowed by the much bigger and more important ancient Roman settlements of Tomis, Histria and Callatis, Adamclisi (60 km south -west of the Romanian city Constanta) remains a hidden gem of Roman antiquity at the Black Sea.
The municipium was built at the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. after a bloody battle was won on the site by Roman Emperor Traian against the stubborn and unsubdued local population of Dacians. On the occasion, Traian commissioned the building of an impressive monument to show the military supremacy of Rome, a monument that still attracts visitors to the place today. Not far, the remains of the municipium Tropaeum Traiani, which was built after the battle, reveal a flourishing Roman colony with an impressive 12 m - wide via principalis and an once busy and crowded basilica forensis - the local forum.
Last but not least, a museum of archaeology completes the list of things to see on the premises. The museum is the proud depositary of the original stone blocks adorned with amazing depictions the fierce battle between Romans and Dacians, with Emperor Traian saluting his new subjects.
