Archaeological discoveries in Romania and Bulgaria
Overview
Recent archaeological excavations in Romania and Bulgaria have uncovered significant historical artifacts and structures from the Roman and Medieval periods.
In Romania, discoveries in Neamț County include fragments of brick-red painted ceramic vessels identified by archaeologist Vasile Diaconu as luxury goods used by Dacian communities. In Constanța, researchers found an intact Roman sarcophagus containing the remains of a young boy, accompanied by a funerary inventory including a bulla, flower garlands, and small toys.
In Bulgaria, excavations at the Roman citadel of Nove revealed a 4,500-square-meter structure, potentially a ‘praetorium’ or commander’s residence, featuring mosaics, frescoes, and a private bath complex. Additionally, at the Rusokastro fortress near Burgas, archaeologists identified a monumental medieval building with waterproof plaster and recovered various silver coins, including those from the 14th-century reign of Bulgarian Tsar Ivan Alexander and Venetian silver groats.
