Capidava an old Dacian pagus..... Capidava fortified settlement is a tourist attraction in Dobruja area, next to Hârşova and Histria, in Constanţa County, which can be reached through the road from Hârşova (E61), or the road from Cernavodă /Feteşti-Cernavodă/. Capidava or Kapidaua, Cappidava, Capidapa, Calidava was the part of the Roman province of Moesia Inferior (later Scythia Minor), in modern Dobruja. Capidava is located in the village with the same name, in Constanţa County, Romania. Capidava is depicted in the form Calidava/Calidaua in Segmentum VIII of Tabula Peutingeriana (1st–4th century) on a Roman road between Axiopolis and Carsium. Capidava appears on an illustration from Notitia Dignitatum imperii roman. Capidava took its name from the old Getic dava settlement that was located nearby. Based on the literary evidences that confirms both the existence and the importance of Capidava and also on the archaeological pre-Roman evidences, some scholar consider the hypothesis that the Getic fortress might have been razed to the ground through the building of the Roman castra itself. The development of a Geto-Dacian state in Transylvania within the context of multiple ethnicities on the Lower and Middle Danube is widely discussed by scholars and use of new archaeological discoveries to clarify narratives of the wars of 84–89, 101–102, and 105–106-is evaluated. Interpretations of scenes on Trajans Column and themetopes of the Adamklissi monument remain controversial.....panacomp.net/romania?s=rumunija-capidava
