The first mixed civil and military settlement dates from the 2nd c. AD. The walls were greatly strengthened at the end of the 4th century (during the reign of EmperorTheodosius I(379-395). It had an important strategic role to protect the road for the transport of goods between the Roman cities ofNoviodunumandDurostorum.
