The Roman Roads

Thousands of years ago, after the two wars between the Dacians and the Roman invaders, the former Banat experienced a stage of astonishing development both culturally and economically. The Roman Road thematic route follows the road traveled by Emperor Trajan to conquer the Banat and later Dacia.

There are three great Roman imperial roads in the Banat:

              Lederata (at the confluence of the Caraș in the Danube, in Serbia) – Arcidava (Vărădia)
             Centum Putea (Surduc)-Bersobis (Berzovia)-Aizizis (Ezeriş-Fârliug)
              Caput Bubalis (Păltiniş-Banat) - Tibiscum (Jupa-Caransebeș)

                 Dierna (Orşova) – Ad Mediam (Herculaneum Baths) – Praetorium (Mehadia)
                 Ad Pannonios (Domaşnea-Teregova) –Gaganis (Armeniș) –
                 Masclianis (Slatina Timiş – Bucoşniţa) - Tibiscum (Jupa-Caransebeş)

                  Tibiscum (Jupa-Caransebeş) – Traianu (Iaz)
                  Agmonia (Zăvoi) – Pons Augusti (Marga)
                  Tapae (Bucova) – Sarmizegetusa Ulpia Traiana Augusta

The Romanians joined the two main roads through secondary connecting roads to capitalize on all that the Banat Montan had to offer. The targeted roads were those on the left bank of the Danube, from Dierna (Orşova) to Lederata (Ram-Baziaş) or the one that crosses Craina, the Almaju Valley and the Nerei Valley to Arcidava (Vărădia), in the Caraş Valley.
