Pautalia

[2][3] During the regnum of the Roman Empire Pautalia minted his own coins, from the time of emperors Antoninus Pius to Caracalla,[4][5] and possibly into the reign of Elagabalus.

The ancient city was quite large, a number of public buildings, basilicas and baths were portrayed on its coins.

In the city there were temples of Asclepius, Zeus, Sabazios, Hera, Apollo, Hermes, Demeter, Heracles and other deities from the ancient Greek pantheon.

The administrative, economic and cultural language was ancient Greek, and there were teachers of rhetoric and law in the city.

Archaeology in the ancient fortress has revealed three periods of construction — after the Gothic invasions of the Balkans (270); during the emperors Valentinian and Valens and during the early Byzantine era.

During the reign of Emperor Aurelian, Pautalia was the third largest city in Dacia Mediterranea — after Serdica and Naissus.
