Castra Largiana, Roman military fortification in Românași, Romania.
Castra Largiana is a Roman military fortification in Românași with dimensions of approximately 130 by 155 meters. The fort features stone walls and defensive structures positioned on a hilltop overlooking the Agrij valley.
Castra Largiana was built during Emperor Trajan's reign in the 2nd century AD. The fort protected the intersection of roads connecting the military camps at Porolissum, Napoca, and Bologa.
The military garrison housed several Roman military units, including the First Hispanic and Sixth Thracian cohorts, which maintained control over local territories.
The site is accessible by main roads connecting Românași to nearby towns in Sălaj County, with parking facilities available in the area. Visitors can plan to spend time exploring the remaining structures at their own pace.
Archaeological evidence suggests a second auxiliary fort existed near this site. However, these two fortifications operated during different periods in time.
