Marcianopolis, Roman archaeological site in Devnya, Bulgaria
The excavated remains of Marcianopolis include defensive walls, an amphitheater, and residential buildings spread across a substantial urban area near modern Devnya.
Emperor Trajan established Marcianopolis in 106 AD after his victory over the Dacians, naming it after his sister Ulpia Marciana.
The Museum of Mosaics in Devnya exhibits intricate floor decorations from Roman villas, demonstrating the sophisticated artistic techniques of ancient craftsmen.

A treasure of 100,000 silver denarii, buried during the Gothic invasion of 250 AD, was discovered at the site in 1929.
