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. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-28: Archaeological discoveries in Bulgaria reveal Roman and Medieval sites Archaeologists in Bulgaria have discovered a potential Roman commander's residence at Nove and a significant medieval building with 14th-century silver coins at Rusokastro. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/archaeological-discoveries-in-bulgaria-reveal-roman-and-medieval-sites ### 2026-10-26: Archaeological discoveries in Romania reveal Dacian luxury goods and Roman artifacts Archaeologists in Romania have discovered luxury Dacian painted ceramics in Neamț and an intact Roman child's sarcophagus in Constanța. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/archaeological-discoveries-in-romania-reveal-dacian-luxury-goods-and-roman-artifacts --- Cite as: Archaeological discoveries in Romania and Bulgaria.
