• 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.
• Alburnus Maior — The ancient name of Roșia Montană in the Apuseni Mountains, Romania, founded as a mining settlement by the Romans during the reign of Emperor Trajan for the exploitation of rich gold deposits. The site is globally famous for its vast network of unique Roman mining galleries and for the discovery of wooden wax tablets (tăblițele cerate), which provide invaluable legal and economic insights into daily life in the Roman province of Dacia.
