For lovers of ancient Roman history, this 360-degree video will expose some of the most remarkable archaeological remains that you can see in Kladovo, the charming town on the Danube river in the Eastern Serbia.
- The video will reveal what's inscripted on the famous TABULA TRAIANA (Trajan's Plaque), which is the only surviving evidence of the military highway constructed and maintained by succession of emperors (beginning with Tiberius in AD 33), recording Emperor Trajan’s AD 99 renovation of the road in preparation for his Dacian campaigns .
- You'll also see the remains of TRAJAN'S BRIDGE that was connecting the newly conquered Dacia with Roman supply lines south of the Danube river. Constructed in AD 105, Traian's bridge (Srb. Trajanov most) spanned over 1,100 meters and was known as one of the ancient wonders for its unparalleled length.
- We're taking you then to the DIANA FORT at Karataš, near Kladovo, a typical example of the Roman military installations that protected the Danube frontier (Limes).
- Finally you'll walk into the Archaeological MUSEUM of Djerdap (Arheološki muzej Đerdapa) that houses a full-scale plaster cast of the panel from Trajan’s Column in Rome, which shows the only ancient representation in sculpted relief of Trajan’s bridge over the Danube.
