Proof of Roman rule, the camp is dated in the 2nd century AD. Nearby, a rustic villa was also identified. The locality is situat­ed 20 km north of the Danube. The fortifi­cation is located southeast of the present Cioroiu Nou village , to the edge of the cemetery, and its dimensions were set to be 235x130 m.

The importance of the camp derives from the fact that a detachment of Legion VII Claudia was cantoned in this camp.

Several monuments - a temple, terme, a building with ahypocaust , dated to the 3rd century AD, have been researched here. From the text of an inscription, it appears that a military watch and guard point operated here in the third century. Partially destroyed by the Carps in 245, the fortification was rebuilt with trench and wall of defense
