This exceptional tour delves into ancient history, beginning in the 2nd century.
Ideal for history and architecture enthusiasts.
The Adamclisi monument, Tropaeum Traiani, was constructed in 109 CE, as indicated by the dedicatory inscription on the plinth of the trophy statue, which lists the titles held by Emperor Trajan. The monument was built to commemorate the Roman army’s victory in the Daco-Roman war of 101-102 CE. During this conflict, the Roman army, led by Emperor Trajan, endured significant human losses. The 2nd century AD marks the expansion of the Roman Empire into the coveted Dacian Kingdom, led by Decebalus. Aware of the threat to Sarmisegetuza, Decebal organized a diversion in Dobrogea to distract the Roman army.
Allied with the Boers and Roxolani Sarmatians, the barbarian tribes, in the winter of 102 AD, Decebal entered into direct conflict with the Roman army, likely on the plateau of Adamclisi and nearby at Istrum or Nicopolis. The decisive battle at Adamclisi was fierce, with many casualties. The Roman army, victorious in this war, lost approximately 4,000 soldiers.
Following this significant victory for the empire, Trajan ordered the construction of the commemorative monument in 109 CE. This is evidenced by the inscription on the upper part of the triumphal monument, which describes the Emperor: “To the god Mars the avenger, emperor Caesar, son of the divine Nerva, Nerva Trajan, Augustus, conqueror of the Germans, of the Dacians, high priest, having the power of tribune of the plebeians for the 13th time, proclaimed emperor by the army for the 6th time, elected consul for the 5th time, father of the country after defeating the Dacian and Sarmatian army…” Dedicated to the god Mars the Avenger, Mars Ultar, this monument signifies the beginning of Roman rule over the province.
The initial version of the Constanța Casino was constructed with a wooden frame in 1880 and was named Cazin or Kursaal l. It was the first Romanian building erected on the Black Sea shore shortly after Northern Dobruja came under Romanian administration following the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) and the Romanian War of Independence. The building’s design featured slopes to create two rounded, overlapping terraces, offering a complete view of the cliff, the sea, and the Constanța harbor from all angles. It was located next to the Genoese Lighthouse. The interior included a ballroom, two games halls, and two reading halls, where visitors could access local, national, and international press. Initially, the City of Constanța leased and rented the building and space to entrepreneurs. One of these casino entrepreneurs was Captain Constantin Creangă, son of writer Ion Creangă and father of Horia Creangă, a leading Romanian architect during the interwar period. The building was later transferred and managed by the County Council, which opened it for public use. Finding that the building only generated enough income to cover maintenance, it was once again leased to wealthy entrepreneurs. In 1891, the wood-structured Cazinoul din Constanța was almost entirely destroyed by a storm, and on January 29, 1892, its demolition was approved.
The Roman building with mosaics in Constanța, covering nearly 2,000 square meters, was erected in the 4th century CE, likely under the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great, replacing earlier port buildings. It underwent repairs at various stages until the early 7th century, when it ceased to exist following the abandonment of the ancient fortress of Tomis due to major raids.
