Castra of Ploiești

The castra of Ploiești was a Romans fort built in the 2nd century AD.[1][2] It was abandoned in the same century.[1][2] Its ruins were unearthed in Ploiești (Romania).[1][2]. Currently, no remains are visible due to the area occupied by the castrum now being a residential area. However, some earthwork like features can be seen in the uneven surfaces of the roads in the area ("bumps") and a clearly visible terrace can be observed overlooking the Dâmbu brook (once having a high flow debit rate, but nowadays reduced to a brook from a river), adjacent to the site.
