Old And New Data About The Late Roman Fortification From The Island Ostrovul Mare
Gogoșu Commune, Mehedinți County, Romania // Dorel Bondoc
The first part (Part I) of this paper will be published in the volume in the honour of Dr. Mihai Bărbulescu from Cluj-Napoca. ...
The traces of a fortification surrounded by a ditch and a vallum (palisade) of defence were known by Al. Bărcăcilă as far back as in 1936(21). Al. Bărcăcilă had information about the investigations of a silviculturist who excavated in 1910, because he wanted to find the gate of the fortification. The spoilation of the stone and of the bricks seems to be usual in Ostrovul Mare. Somebody remembered that at one moment, even the Serbian neighbours from the southern bank of the Danube, used to come to the island by boat to find bricks (information from Dr. Adrian Gheorghe).
The researches made in 1981 by M. Davidescu led to the identification of the Late Roman fortification. The archaeological excavations begun in 1983(22) pointed out just a part of a wall from the eastern side, 23.50m long (Fig. 10). It was built of stone, limestone and bricks. The wall is 2.80m thick. At its northern end there is a circular tower with the interior diameter of 3.50m, and at its southern end there is a pentagonal tower with its interior in a rectangular shape (4.05 x 3.45m). Both towers are protruded out of the enclosure, this feature being specific to the Late Roman fortifications. A gate with an opening of 3.27m was identified at 8.50m from the northern tower; at some time it was blocked with an exterior tower of rectangular shape.
