The castra of Aradul Nou was a fort in the Roman province of Dacia,[1] located in a modern neighborhood of Arad in Romania.[2][3] Bricks bearing the name of two Roman legions (Legio IV Flavia Felix and Legio XIII Gemina) were unearthed at this location.[2][3] Built under Emperor Trajan and abandoned thereafter,[1] this auxiliary fort protected the road leading from Micia to Partiscum (Szeged, Hungary).[2][3]
