Summary/Abstract: Around 1900 Romanian topography was in full development, Generals Barozzi and Brătianu working on a detailed and precise map of Romania. This was the atmosphere of the period when P. Polonic worked and we want to present it using speeches of general C. I. Brătianu. Those were the times when a topographic engineer – formed in military schools – could act at the ideal moment for the cataloging of historical and archaeological monuments and for the creation of an archaeological map. As an example of his activity, we presented here the information on four sites, some already known, some gone or left unexcavated.
