Grădiştea de Munte – Sarmizegetusa Regia Fortress. Eastern Gate area – Part. I

Summary/Abstract: Many hypotheses have been proposed over the last decades regarding the evolution, planimetry and chronological modelling of the various phases of construction, destruction and restoration of the fortress at Grădiştea de Munte – Sarmizegetusa Regia. The archaeological data certifying the existence of a fortified site dating before the Roman conquest of the capital of the Dacian Kingdom, while not negligible, are so dissimilar that recomposing its plan becomes a significant challenge. The present article focuses on recent archaeological discoveries in the Eastern Gate area, an important reference point for re-discussing the particularities of the initial Dacian fortress.
