Tabula Traiana, Ancient Roman inscription in Tekija, Serbia

The marble tablet features Latin text and reliefs carved into the rock face along the Danube River near the town of Tekija.

Emperor Trajan commissioned this monument in the second century to commemorate the construction of a strategic road through the Danube gorge.

The inscription stands as a testament to Roman engineering methods and administrative practices during the empire's expansion into the Balkans.

The site remains accessible through guided tours, with visitors needing to coordinate access through the local tourism office in Kladovo Municipality.

The tablet survived numerous conflicts and natural elements for over 1900 years before being relocated 50 meters higher due to dam construction.

Location: Kladovo Municipality

Made from material: marble
