History

4.5 km south of Gârliciu is the site of the Roman fort Cius [3] located in the Roman province of Moesia in the 1st century AD and part of the defensive frontier system of the Limes Moesiae along the Danube.

It was built on a hill at the end of a narrow peninsula parallel to the Danube, today on the north-east side of Hisarlâk lake, although the river is today more than 4.5 km north-westwards. [4]

There were two stone forts with ditch and ramparts, one within the other of approximately 85 x 60 m and 120 x 120 m respectively.

The garrison of the early fort was cohors I Lusitanorum Cyrenaica, until its movement upstream to Nigrinianis (later Candidiana).

Reconstruction, ordered by emperor Valens, was done by milites primani headed by a tribunus Marcianus and a praepositus Ursicinus, supervised by provincial governor Flavius Stercorius, as described in an oration by Themistios before the emperor at Constantinople in early 370. [5]

Cius is included in the Itinerarium Antonini [6] , at 10000 feet from Carsium (Hârșova) and 14000 feet from Beroe (castrum) (Piatra Frecăței).
