Castrum Tibiscum, Roman military fort in Caransebeș, Romania.
The remains of Castrum Tibiscum extend across a trapezoidal area of 250 by 175 meters, featuring stone walls and defensive towers from ancient Roman engineering.
Established in 101 AD during Emperor Trajan's reign, the fort underwent multiple reconstructions, evolving from a wooden structure to a stone fortress housing 1000 soldiers.
Archaeological excavations at Castrum Tibiscum have uncovered numerous artifacts, including pottery, coins, and military equipment, reflecting daily Roman military life.
The archaeological site is accessible through the Cartier Jupa area of Caransebeș, with informational panels explaining the layout and functions of different sections.
The fort's position at the junction of imperial roads made it a central point for controlling trade routes and military movements in the Roman province of Dacia.
