Castra Arcidava was a fort in the Roman province of Dacia in the area of the town of Arcidava[1] (now Vărădia, Romania) in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.[3] [4]
It was 17 km away from Ponte Fluvii fort (Grebenac), Serbia and located at the junction of the Lederata/Viminacium-Tibiscum military road with the Roman road from Almăj.[5]
The fort is on the road leading to Greoni, in the place called “Rovina” and was linked by a corridor to a watchtower on the Chilii Hill.
