The
LMI code (List of the Historical Monuments code) identifies uniquely an historical monument or archaeological site, and includes, in this order: •
Romanian county code, using
ISO 3166-2:RO • A Roman numeral indicating the type of monument: • I: archaeological • II: architectural • III: public monuments (e.g. statues) • IV: memorials and gravestones • A lowercase letter:
m for an individual monument,
a for an ensemble and
s for an archaeological site • A capital letter: A for monuments of national interest, B for local interest • A five-digit serial number. If the site is part of an ensemble, this is indicated by a decimal point followed by 01, 02, and so forth. For example, IS-II-a-A-03806 is the LMI code for
Cetățuia Monastery. IS indicates the site is in
Iași County. II indicates it is an architectural monument, a that it is an ensemble, A that it is of national interest, and 03806 is its unique code. The ensemble has six individual sites, so for instance the monastery's bell tower, the fifth site listed, has code IS-II-m-A-03806.05. Sites may also have a RAN Code, indicating they are part of the National Archaeological Record (
Repertoriul Arheologic Național), a register including sites with archaeological potential, sites where archaeological excavations have taken place or ruined archaeological sites. ==See also==
