It used to be an extremely powerful and big city. The name was given according to name of the mother of the Emperor Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximianus (298-311 A.D.), which is called Romula. It is located in eastern Serbia, near town Zajecar.
This fortification once lay on 6.5 ha, it had about 20 towers and it was the residence of the Galerius which was Diocletian's son-in-law.
Within the city there was a luxurious palace, three Christian churches and two pagan churches. The palace was never completed and it was left to the church in the 4th century.
In connection with this, interesting thing is that the Galerius before the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D, in Nikomedia 311 A.D issued an edict that stopped the persecution of Christians.
The uniqueness and beauty of this place are mosaics that covered the floors and represented the culmination of the art of the late Hellenic period.
Particular importance and beauty are the pillars of peristyle in the atrium with a fountain.
Some pillars are made from white marble from the Greek island of Prokones, while the walls of a small polygonal vault had a coating of green porphyritus from Peloponnese.
On 29 June 2007, Romuliana was included in UNESCO's list of world cultural heritage. Romuliana have a great number of different preserved artwork and unique architectural features. A large number of fragments of sculptures of white marble and red porphyrite (porfido rosso antico) have been found.
Two important museum piece from this location: The Head of Galerius, made of red porcelain, expensive "imperial stone" and pilaster, were exhibited in 2013 at the Colosseum in Rome for the occasion of the 1700th anniversary of the Milan edict.
In the southwestern part of the palace, in a building with mosaic floors and frescoes on the walls, in 1984. a large block of tufopoppers was discovered and on same plac, fragment with an engraved inscription FELIX ROMULIANA.
One mile from the main gate, on the hill Magura, there is a sacral complex with two mausoleums, in which the apotheosis rituals were performed for the Galerius and his mother Romula.
The working hours of the museum are
From 08:00 to 20:00, from April to November.
From 08.00 to 16.00 from November to April.
