Castrum Iatrus, Roman military fort in Krivina, Bulgaria
The rectangular fortress stands on elevated terrain near the confluence of Yantra and Danube rivers, featuring defensive walls and internal military structures.
Constructed in the 4th century as part of Limes Moesicus, the fortress served as a crucial defense point until its abandonment in 600 AD.
The excavated site reveals Roman military architecture including a principia, praetorium, and barracks that accommodated 500 cavalrymen from legio I Italica.
The archaeological site lies 30 kilometers east of Svishtov and 40 kilometers west of Rousse, accessible through the village of Krivina.
Archaeological investigations uncovered 146 coins from the early 4th century, confirming the exact period of the fortress construction and initial occupation.
