The Castra of Jac was a fort made of earth in the Roman province of Dacia.[1][2] It was erected in the 2nd century AD.[1][2] Not far from the fort, the remains of a previous fortification (built in the 1st century BC)[2] and of a Roman watchtower[3] were unearthed. The fort and the wathctower were abandoned in the 3rd century.[1][3] Traces of the castra can be identified on Citera Hill in Jac (commune Creaca, Romania).[1][2]
