NICULIŢEL
Dobrudja, Romania.
Rural Roman settlement. An altar dedicated to J.O.M. Dolichenus
and an inscription in honor of Julian the Apostate have
been discovered. Limited archaeological explorations
have identified the remains of several Roman buildings
and an aqueduct. A martyrium for the relics of the martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, and Philippos (4th-5th c.) have been uncovered under the ruins of a basilica.
