The map of the Roman city of Napoca was

reconstructed following the systematic archaeological
excavations that have been carried out in the last decades,
but also incidental discoveries.
The Roman city was bordered to the west by the Gypsy
Creek, in the proximity of
the current streets of Emil
Isac and Samuel Micu. The
Mill Canal represented
the northern moat of the
settlement, part of its
wall being discovered in
I.L. Caragiale Park. The
southern border was
delimitated by Eroilor
and Napoca streets and
the eastern border was
delineated by the Bolyai
Janos and David Francisc
streets. The forum was
located somewhere in the
area of Saint Michaels
Church. The Samvm
Bridge (Somes Bridge) was
situated near the current
Horea Bridge. The premises
was shaped as an almost
perfect square with the side
of approximately 500 m

Terra Dacica Aeterna

Urbe multicultural, Clujul relev o diversitate

unic n Europa Rsritean, n privina
numeroaselor civilizaii i culturi care au subscris
la condica milenar a oraului. Rnd pe rnd, daci,
celi, romani, slavi, maghiari, sai, secui, turci i
austrieci s-au intersectat cu ceea ce astzi numim
naiunea, limba i cultura romn.
Known as a multicultural city, Cluj reveals
an unique diversity throughout Eastern Europe
regarding the presence of numerous cultures and
civilizations that have been registered in the citys
millenary ledger. One by one, Dacians, Celts, Romans,
Slavs, Hungarians, Transylvanian Saxons, Szkelys,
Turks and Austrians crossed paths with what we call
today the Romanian nation, language and culture.

Dacii i romanii
Urmare a trei campanii de cucerire ntreprinse
n decursul a dou decenii de mpraii romani,
Domiian i Traian, n 106 d.Hr., Regatul Daciei
este cucerit i transformat, doar o parte din acesta,
n provincie roman.
The Dacians and the Romans
As a result of three conquering campaigns carried
out for over two decades by the Roman emperors
Domitian and Trajan, in 106 the Kingdom of Dacia is
conquered and partly turned into a Roman province.

Napoca roman - scurt storic

Amprente ale existenei umane pe teritoriul
actual al Clujului exist nc din preistorie.
Localitatea i face ns intrarea in istorie odat
cu menionarea localitii dacice Napuca, de ctre
geograful grec Claudius Ptolemeu.
Cucerirea roman din 105-106 a fcut ca
vechea aezare s dispar, iar noua localitate
s fie construit dup riguroasele norme
arhitecturale romane. Toponimia locului s-a
pstrat, existnd doar o insignifiant schimbare
fonetic, astfel c Napuca dacic a devenit Napoca
roman.

Treptat, Napoca a nflorit, iar mpratul Hadrian

a ridicat aezarea la rang de municipium, n 124,
cu denumirea Municipium Aelium Hadrianum
Napoca. Mai trziu, sub Marcus Aurelius (161 - 180),
localitatea a primit titlul urban superior de colonie,
prelund denumirea Colonia Aurelia Napoca.

The Roman Napoca - Historic references

Proof of human existence on the current territory
of Cluj dates from as early as the prehistoric era.
However, the settlement makes an entrance in history
along with the recorded mention of the Dacian
settlement Napuca, made by Greek geographer
Claudius Ptolemy.
The 105-106 Roman conquest has led to the
disappearance of the settlement and the new locality
was to be built complying to the rigorous Roman
architectural standards.
The name of the location was maintained with an
insignificant phonetic shift, so that Dacian Napuca
became Roman Napoca.

Aezarea urban elevat, cosmopolit, de factur

occidental (puine influene orientale au fost
gsite n timpul cercetrilor) i care a adoptat rapid
religia romanilor (ntr-o pondere covritoare zeii
romani predomin pantonul napocens). Important
centru de producie, Napoca se afla ntr-o zon
geostrategic important, pe drumul ce lega castrul
legionar de la Potaissa de Porolissum.

Dreptul italic (ius italicum), dobndit de Napoca

n timpul lui Septimius Severus (193 211),
a reprezentat pentru localitate un important
beneficiu, ntruct doar cele mai elevate dintre
oraele Imperiului Roman obineau aceast
demnitate.

Astzi, fosta capital a Daciei Porolissensis este

capitala istoric a Transilvaniei.

Gradually, Napoca had flourished, and in 124

emperor Hadrian (161-180) granted the title and rank of
municipium to the Roman settlement. Later, during the
reign of Marcus Aurelius, the city gained the higher status
of colonia, taking the name of Colonia Aurelia Napoca.
The Italic Right (ius italicum), aquired during the reign
of Septimius Severus (193 211), constituted a major
advantage, since only the most important cities of The
Roman Empire were awarded with this dignity.
The lofty, cosmopolitan, majorly
influenced by the Western style colonia
(few Oriental influences were found during
the researches) quickly adopted
Roman religion (the Napoca
pantheon is predominated by
Roman deities in an overwhelming
proportion).
Major manufacturing centre, Napoca
was situated in a significant geostrategic area, on the road that linked
the legionary castrum of Potaissa to
Porolissum.
Today, the former capital of Dacia
Porolissensis is the historic capital of
Transylvania.

Lupa Capitolina
Statuia Lupa Capitolina a fost druit de
municipalitatea din Roma n 1921, cu menirea de
a evidenia trecutul comun al celor dou naiuni:
romn i italian. Copie fidel a Lupoaicei, cu
Romulus i Remus, de pe Capitoliu, grupul statuar
din Cluj a fost inaugurat la 18 septembrie 1921.
Simbol al latinitii romnilor, statuia este
amplasat pe Bulevardul Eroilor, vizavi de
Catedrala Greco Catolic Schimbarea la Fa.
Soclul statuii a fost decorat cu un basorelief
al mpratului Traian. Tot aici, regsim inscripia
ALLA CITT DI CLVJ, ROMA MADRE, MCMXXI
(Pentru oraul Cluj, de la oraul mam, Roma, 1921).
Lupa Capitolina
The sculpture of Lupa Capitolina (The Capitoline
Wolf) was a gift from the municipality of Rome in
1921, with the purpose of emphasizing the shared
historic background of the two nations: Romanian and
Italian. An accurate copy of the Capitoline Wolf, with
Romulus and Remus, the statuary group was unveiled
on the 18th of September 1921.
A symbol of the Latinity of Romanians, it is
currently situated on Eroilor Boulevard, opposite to
the Greek Catholic Cathedral Schimbarea la Fa
(The Transfiguration Cathedral).
The pedestal of the statue is decorated with a basrelief of Emperor Trajan. The following inscription can
be read: ALLA CITT DI CLVJ, ROMA MADRE, MCMXXI
(For the city of Cluj, from the Roman mother city, 1921).
