The Nearby Settlements and Sites
The civil canabae were situated in the nearest surroundings of the legionary base – mainly west and south-west of the fortress, covering the area of 70-80 hectares during the time of the Principate. During the late Roman period the town covered 18 hectares of the former legionary base, 20-30 hectares of the former canabae and probably additional 10 hectares of the eastern enclosure. Another civil vicus was localised over 2 km east of the camp, at the place called Ostrite Mogili. Field surveys attested the settlement covering the area of ca. 15 hectares, existing during the time of the Principate. In the late Roman period glass workshops were localised there. Along the roads going out of the legionary base some cemeteries were discovered (west, east and south of the site). Around 2 km south of the fortress a temple of Liber Pater has been excavated, and outside the eastern defensive walls – a temple of the eastern gods.

“That those tribes [the Sac and Fox Indians] cannot exist surrounded by our settlements and in continual contact with our citizens is certain. They have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
