The [city](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/) was under [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) rule from the 1st to 3rd centuries CE when it became part of the Roman province of Moesia Inferior. The image shows the residential district located on the eastern side of the town, dating from the late Roman period.
