Summary/Abstract: This paper is a report presenting the latest research carried out on alleged Roman fortifications in the region of Muntenia. The aim of this review is to update the information about these fortifications which were located between the provinces of Moesia Inferior and Dacia. Field surveys in Muntenia are incomplete and the number of Roman fortifications in this region is still unknown. During recent research, new archaeological information has been uncovered, making it appropriate to revisit some of the discussions on Roman camps – castra aestiva. The enclosures presented were identified by collecting field data, topographic measurements, drone photographs, aerial photographs and satellite imagery, which were then corroborated with information available at that time in the archives.
