}} The Roman city of Romula lay on an earlier
Dacian city called
Malva. It received the title of
municipium during the rule of
Hadrian (117–138) and the title of
colonia during that of
Septimius Severus (193–211). The city had two belts of fortifications and two
castra, part of the
Limes Alutanus frontier system and where soldiers of the
Legiones VII Claudia and
XXII Primigenia were temporarily stationed, alongside a permanent unit (
numerus) of
Syrian
archers. == See also ==
