Constantiana Daphne

Daphne was a Byzantine fortification inaugurated, most probably in 327, on the left bank of the Danube, across Transmarisca, in the delta of the Arges river.[1] In 367, emperor Valens crossed the Danube at Daphne using a pontoon bridge. It was mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus and Procopius of Caesarea.[2]

The most probable position is at Grădiștea at south west of Ulmeni. Still some historians believe that the Daphne was the new name of the Sucidava- Celei.[3]
