Castra martis

Castra martis

Castra Martis was a Roman fortress (castra) in the Roman province of Dacia ripensis on the modern site of Kula, in Vidin Province in Bulgaria.

In 408, the Huns under Uldin took control of the site during an attack on the Eastern Roman Empire, apparently by treachery (Maenchen-Helfen, Otto J. "The Date of Ammianus Marcellinus' Last Books." The American Journal of Philology, Vol. 76, No. 4 (1955), p. 389).

Castra Martis Hill on Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands, West Antarctica, is named after it.
