Castra of Bulci

At the end of the 4th century BC Celtic tribes also began to migrate here but they were also quickly assimilated by the Dacians.

The fort, possibly occupied by an auxiliary cohort, lay east of today's village of Bata on the left bank of the Mureș.

Its garrison was responsible, among other things, for monitoring and securing the road from Micia to Partiscum, which followed the southern bank of the river in the North-West direction.

It was first examined in 1868 by Flóris Rómer, the founder of provincial Roman archaeology in Hungary, and then between 1976 and 1980 smaller search excavations were carried out by István Ferenczi and Mircea Barbu.

The brick stamps found in Legio XIII Gemina seem to at least confirm the identification of the site as a Roman military installation of the 2nd century AD.
