Roman fortifications in Muntenia: 04. Pietroasele

Stone fort, measuring 158 x 124 m, built under Trajan, but abandoned at the beginning of Hadrian’s reign. It was reused at the beginning of the 3^rd century, during Caracalla’s reign, tegular material of the legion XI Claudia pia fidelis, respectively Antoninianae. It appears to have been rebuilt at the beginning of the 4^th century. The famous treasure hoard, composed of 26 gold objects, known as “Cloșca cu puii de aur”, dated at the beginning of the 5^th century, was discovered here. A thermal edifice, surrounded by a perimeter wall (peribolos?), was also investigated.
