Roman sites along the Danube
#22
Sorry but Singidunum necropolis is not visible. If You stay for 3 days in Belgrade, You will probably visit Belgrade fortress. On the NE side of medieval fortress there are 15 meters of Roman castra wall and a part of tower visible. Before You enter Kalemegdan park there is Belgrade city Library, enter and ask for Roman hall which is in the basement. There is a part of Porta decumana.
General opinion towards Your Itinerary. Romuliana is generally of your main course. You will need one whole day from Djerdap to Zajecar (museum - one hour) then ROmuliana (fort-two hours) then Magura (hill above Romuliana - one hour - half hour by foot, and nothing special to see except the view towards Romuliana).
Maybe You could leave for next occasion Timacum Minus site and museum in Ravna, Romuliana, Sharkamen, Naissus - museum in Nis(in fact Mediana site), Iustiniana Prima-site, generally Bulgaria.
The problem is with the roads which are mostly in bad condition so in some parts You won't be able to drive more than 50 km/h.
I don't know about Croatian part which could be interesting. On tuesday I have meeting with colleagues in Osijek (Mursa) and I will ask them if there is something interesting on their side of limes for visitors ( I mean sites, I know that Museum of Slavonija is very interesting, also Vinkovci (Cibalae) and Vukovar Museum).
Some of the sites mentioned do not have the strictly the Limes character but are important for the Late Roman period, but this is nice opportunity to visit them.
If You cross Serbian-Romanian border at Djerdap plant crossing, You should check the Trajan's bridge by Drobeta (Pontes and Drobeta are forts one across each other by the bridge).
Now I have seen that You mentioned plane at the end of the journey. Do You have plan to use car for this trip??? If not, some ideas have to be changed.
