The Roman frontier in Lower Dacia: 9. Pripoare

At approx. 3 km south of Perișani, at the southern end of Pripoare hamlet, “just in the gorge, the earth today covers the walls of an old fortress of about 60 m long and 40-45 wide (“thick wall, made of limestone across the road from slope where the old pub in Pripoare was; people took stone from there, maybe a hundred carts” (statements of some villagers from Perișani, today 20 Sept. 1933; the walls, however, we saw them ourselves). (Conea 1935, 92, note 1). Ion Conea believed that “the traces of the strong fortress from Perișani are also of a Roman fort”.
