The remains of Roman military caste "Dimum" are located in the northern part of town of Belene (north of the "Vasil Levski" school). In the I-st century Dimum was a very important point of the Roman province of Moesia. Even during the regime of the first Roman Emperor Augustus the fortress was the most north-eastern point and boundary of the Roman province of Moesia and the Thracian kingdom. From the beginning of the II till the end of III century here was stationed military horse camp - part of the Roman army, which probably has built the fortress.
The site was repeatedly studied by archaeologists. During excavations in 1989 was studied the fortification system of the caste and it was discovered preserved part of it that is long about 60 meters. In 1990 there was found the south tower of the western fortress gate - gate Pretoria. Among the findings are also walls of two buildings (one from the late antiquity and other from an earlier period) and floor of a medieval house.
