Castrum Potaissa (Patavissa)
Our Sunday journey began at castrum Potaissa, wich was the most important roman settlement in the Cluj county region. The castrum became a municipium, then later, a colonia and it was the basecamp of the Legio V Macedonica from 166 to 274. Today is not much to see, but there is more than meets the eye.
