Abritus, Archaeological site in Razgrad, Bulgaria
The Roman fortress of Abritus spans 15 hectares with stone walls featuring 35 defensive towers and four main gates along its perimeter.
The Battle of Abritus in 251 AD resulted in the defeat of Roman forces and the deaths of Emperor Decius and his son by Gothic warriors.
The city integrated Roman, Thracian, and Gothic populations, with temples dedicated to Roman deities Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva alongside local gods.
The archaeological reserve includes a museum exhibition and multimedia center presenting artifacts and information about the ancient settlement's development.
A collection of 835 gold coins from the 5th century was discovered near the eastern fortress wall, indicating the wealth of the Roman province.
