#Aegyssus

• Aegyssus — An ancient Geto-Dacian fortress, later recorded as a Roman border stronghold located on the right bank of the Danube, within the modern territory of Tulcea in Dobrogea, Romania. Founded according to legend by a Dacian chieftain named Carpyus, the city played a major strategic role in the Roman defensive system (Limes Moesiarum), described by the poet Ovid in his works from exile as an imposing fortification difficult to conquer due to its position on high cliffs.
