Considerations on the Fortification Wall of Tomis in Late Antiquity in the Light of Recent Research

Summary/Abstract: Archaeological discoveries related to the Late Roman ramparts of the city of Tomis made in 2017 in two locations situated on its run are presented in this article. A rescue archaeological excavation carried out on 42 Ecaterina Varga Street in Constanza led to the discovery of a 10-meter-long section of the defensive wall, also allowing soundings of its foundations and acquirement of stratigraphic data. Traces of an earlier cremation grave, much damaged in modern times, were also identified next to the wall, in the intra muros area. Public interest works carried out on Cpt. Grigore Ignat Street, next to the Archaeological Park of Constanza damaged another cremation grave dating from the first half of the 1st century AD and the foundations of the Late Roman defensive wall nearby. Another sounding of the foundation was subsequently made on this location. New data presented in this article allows us to draw certain assessments concerning the timeline of the defensive wall of Tomis from the Late Antiquity.
