Limes Alutanus
Limes Alutanus was a fortified line consisting of a vallum, built in the North-South direction, on the eastern side of the Olt river and seven Roman castra, as is remembered by Tabula Peutingeriana. Limes Alutanus was the eastern border of the Roman province of Dacia.

- Praetorium

- Acidava
- Romula
- Râul Vadului
- Copăceni
