Castrum Arrubium, Roman military fortress in Măcin, Romania.
The stone walls of Castrum Arrubium rise above the right bank of the Măcin River, forming a rectangular defensive structure with strategic views over the Danube.
The fortress, documented around 100 CE through military diplomas, served as a crucial defense point along the Limes Moesicus until the seventh century.
Archaeological findings at Castrum Arrubium reveal the daily routines of Roman soldiers, including their weapons, tools, and personal belongings from different periods.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site from Măcin city center by following Democratiei Street to the northwestern outskirts where informational signs mark the entrance.
A milestone from Emperor Diocletian's reign confirms the restoration of an ancient road connecting this fortress to other Roman centers in the region.
