Summary/Abstract: The physical-geographical and historical region, Dobrogea is located in the SE part of Romania, between the Danube and the Black Sea. As a historical-geographical province, it has experienced different stages of development over time. Through the Danube River and the Black Sea, it had connections with the whole world. In the 7th-6th centuries BC, the ancient Greeks settled on the shores of the Black Sea, founding cities-citadels known to this day - Histria, Callatis, Tomis. Later, the Daco-Romans also founded well-known fortresses - Aegyssus, Axiopolis, Dinogetia. As a result of the historical events that took place in this territory, today there are a number of overlapping cultures, which give originality to the region. With everything it offers within Romania, Dobrogea is the oldest province.
