Ratiaria, Archaeological site near Archar, Bulgaria
The ancient Roman settlement contains foundations of temples, baths, residential buildings, and defensive walls along the Danube River banks.
Established in the first century AD, Ratiaria developed into a major Roman military base and commercial center during the Byzantine period.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered numerous coins, pottery pieces, tools, and religious artifacts that demonstrate the Roman influence in the region.
The archaeological site requires advance arrangements for visits, and protective footwear is essential due to the uneven terrain and excavation areas.
The location near the Danube River made Ratiaria a central point for trade between different regions of the Roman Empire.
