The castra of Drumul Carului was a fort in the Roman province of Dacia.[1][2] The small fort was defended by earthenwork and by two small ditches.[1] It might have been erected following the First Dacian War, before the official integration of Dacia to the Roman Empire.[1] Destroyed by fire, the fort was abandoned around 250.[1] Its ruins are located in Drumul Carului (commune Moieciu, Romania).[1][2]
