Excavations near the village of Archar have revealed the city of Ratsiaria looted by treasure hunters. It used to be the capital of the Roman province of Riverside Dacia. Archeologists hope to conserve the remains of the ancient capital. North of the residence of the province’s governor and the main street, archeologists have unearthed a bath and a residential building from Antiquity. Last year’s finds suggest that the city emerged around a Roman military camp during 1 c. AD which had not been proved previously.
