The castra of Ploiești was a Roman fort built in the 2nd century AD.[2] [1] It was abandoned in the same century.[2] [1] Its ruins were unearthed in Ploiești (Romania).[2] [1] Currently, no remains are visible due to the area occupied by the castrum now being a residential area. However, some earthwork-like features can be seen in the uneven surfaces of the roads in the area ("bumps"), and a clearly visible terrace can be observed overlooking the Dâmbu brook (once having a high flow rate, but nowadays reduced to a brook from a river), adjacent to the site.
