Târgșoru Vechi
Localizare: –
The fort from Târgșoru Vechi is partially overlaid by the monastery premises and by the road DJ 129. The supposed dimensions based on recent research are 90×110 m. It was built during the conquest of Dacia and abandoned at the beginning of Hadrian’s reign.
The tegular material contains stamps from the legion XI Claudia pia fidelis and the cohort I Flavia Commagenorum. The baths, located about 80 meters southwest of the fort’s corner, were partially researched during rescue excavations.
