Map of Roman Bulgaria
Map of Bulgaria showing Roman sites (after S. Goshev and R. Ivanov).
Bordering
the top of the modern country of Bulgaria, the Danube formed the
northeast frontier of the Roman Empire, extending to the Black Sea and
the vast steppes of central Asia. The great river crossed the lands of
Goths, Dacians, Thracians, and dozens of now obscure peoples ancestral
to many of today’s Central European cultures. Many have archaeological
roots which can be traced back into the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras.
A
selection of major Roman-era sites are marked on this map. Excavations
in Bulgaria have uncovered many of these settlements,
including towns and military sites at Abritus, Durostorum, Oescus,
and Novae.
