Summary/Abstract: 2017-2018 represented the first half of the second archaeological research program implemented by the University of Bucharest team in Histria (Constanța County, Romania). After four years of excavations, we identified the limits of the last Late Roman insula, which is divided into two nuclei (N and S) and had two phases of functioning marked by changes in the residential complex’s plan. The first phase is dated between the beginning of the 6th c. AD and up to 559 (the Kutrigur raid); the second phase started around the reign of Justin II and ended in the first half of the 7th c. AD.
