Roman artifact discovery in the Danube

Overview

Archaeologist and diver Iulian Rusu has recovered several ancient Roman artifacts from the Danube River near the Sucidava-Celei site in Romania. The finds are located near the site of a 4th-century bridge originally constructed by Emperor Constantine the Great.

The recovered items include lead elements, such as a lead clamp and an unidentified three-legged object, which were used to secure stone blocks within the bridge’s pillar structure. Additionally, a fragment of an amphora was retrieved, suggesting the historical commercial use of the bridge for transporting goods like wine, oil, fish, and honey.

The artifacts have been transported to the Corabia Museum for preservation, research, and public exhibition.
