New data on the salt resources from Ocna Dejului-Sic-Cojocna-Gherla area in Roman Dacia

Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the state of art concerning the salt resources in the area, trying to establish a connection between the presence of the Roman troops and the salt exploitation. The army secured salt not only for its own uses, but also to distribute it across the province. Some castra were important not only for this purpose, but especially since they were part of the defense strategy along the limes.
