Storgosia

Storgosia

Storgosia was a road station of Ancient Rome located in the vicinity of Pleven, northern Bulgaria, in the modern Kaylaka Park. It accommodated detachments of Legio I "Italica"'s Novae (modern Svishtov) garrison. The station grew to become a fortress in Late Antiquity due to Gothic and other Barbarian raids after 238. 31,000 m² were fortified in the beginning of the 4th century with a 2.20 m-wide defensive wall. Archaeological excavations have also discovered two gates and three defensive towers, as well as residential buildings, a large 4th-century basilica (45.20 by 22.20 m) and a public granary.

The fortress existed until the end of the 6th century, when the settlement of the Slavs apparently led to its destruction.
