Castrum Noviodunum, Roman military fort along Danube River in Isaccea, Romania.
The fortress contains multiple defensive towers and thick stone walls positioned on a rocky elevation overlooking the Danube River waterway.
The fort served as headquarters for the Classis Flavia Moesica, the Roman naval fleet that controlled navigation on the lower Danube from the 1st century.
Excavations at the site revealed numerous artifacts including jewelry, tools, and antler workshops that demonstrate the evolution of craftsmanship through Roman and Medieval periods.
The archaeological site is located 1 kilometer east of Isaccea city limits, accessible through the area known as La Pontonul Vechi.
The fortress developed from a Celtic settlement into a Roman municipium, maintaining continuous military and economic functions until the Ottoman conquest in 1420.
