About
The Jidova Roman Castrum is located at the entrance from the south in Câmpulung Municipality. It is the most important and best preserved military construction of its kind on the route of Limes Transalutanus. In the museum where the castrum was transformed, the powerful stone enclosure wall can be seen, with the adjacent gates and towers, the building of the officers, the residence of the commander, the storehouse where the provisions for feeding soldiers and horses were housed, as well as the ingenious heating system specific to the Roman technique, the so-called hypocaustum. The exhibition includes ceramic objects (rushlights, bricks and tile fragments with inscriptions, pavimentum and mosaic pieces, hypocaustum pieces), weapons (arrow tips, spears, knives) and military equipment accessories.
