Depart the port for an introduction to Romania's main port city. Founded by Greek merchants during the 5th century B.C. as the ancient Tomis, the old town is a mix of early Greek, Toman and Byzantine architecture. You will visit the treasures of the Archaeological Museum, containing the largest Roman mosaic in southeastern Europe, and drive out of town to see the summer resort of Mamaia.
Next we visit the Archaeological Museum which houses an important collection of artifacts discovered in the area. The Treasury Hall displays 24 marble statues dating back from the 2nd and 3rd centuries which represent various deities such as Fortuna and Pontus, God of the Black sea, and the fantastic "Glykon Snake"
Lastly we see the Roman Edifice, a complex of warehouses and shops from the 4th century A.D., including a magnificent mosaic floor. |
