Tabula Traiana
Tabula Traiana submitted by mfrincu : Tabula Traiana on the shores of Danube as seen from the boat. (Vote or comment on this photo)
The memorial plaque Tabula Traiana, was erected by the Roman emperor Trajan in honor of its conquest of Dacia in the 105 campaign.

It marks the completion of the Roman military road. It is 4 meters wide and 1.75 meters high. A total of 10 plaques were erected and when the Danube is very low it is said one can spot 4 of them. The one currently visible was recovered by the Serbian authorities and raised about 30m from its original location once the Iron Dam 1 was finalized and the Danube levels in the region began to rise.

In English it reads:

"Emperor Caesar son of the divine Nerva, Nerva Trajan, the Augustus, Germanicus, Pontifex Maximus, invested for the fourth time as Tribune, Father of the Fatherland, Consul for the third time, excavating mountain rocks and using wood beams has made this road."

The site is easily spotted from the Romanian side and boat trips can be arranged for a reasonable price.
