Sostra (original) (raw)

Sostra is an ancient Roman fort and settlement near the village of Lomets, Bulgaria. Impressive remains have been excavated and partially restored. Sostra was strategically situated along the major Roman road (the Via Traiana) linking ancient Philippopolis (today’s Plovdiv) and Diocletianopolis in the Roman province of Thrace with the Roman outposts on the Limes Moesiae on the Danube such as Ulpia Oescus (near today’s Gigen) and Novae (near today’s Shishtov) via the Troyan Pass in the Balkan Mountains. The museum in Troyan contains several finds from the site.
