Roman fortress wall found in Bulgaria

Archaeologists working in Bulgaria have found a late antiquity outer fortress wall at the Roman city of Durostorum.

The newly discovered fortress wall is about 2-2.15 meters wide, and is preserved up to a height of 1.5 meters at some sections, Prof. Georgi Atanasov, an archaeologist from the Silistra Regional Museum of History, has announced, as cited by the Bulgarian state news agency BTA.

Atanasov hypothesizes that at the beginning of the 4th century AD the entire Ancient Roman city of Durostorum might have been surrounded with a previously unknown outer fortress wall.
