The city is traditionally identified with the Bulgarian site of Kula where researches made it possible to discover a quadriburgium and a castellum erected between the 3rd and 4th century. At the present state of research, it can be noted that the archaeological and historical data make it possible to assume that the proposal to identify Castra Martis with Kula is incorrect as it is clearly based on a wrong interpretation of Ammianus Marcellinus’ Res Gestae. Furthermore, comparing Kula with a site discovered further east, Chomakovtsi, it can be noted that the latter appears to be the most suitable candidate for identifying the city. This site covers 13-15 ha., it is protected by a rampart with protruding towers and its position, in the topography of Dacia Ripensis, appears more suitable to the location of Castra Martis known from literary sources. Analyzing the mentions made by Sozomenus, Procopius and Iordanes it can be deduced in fact that the settlement was located in the eastern area of the province.

On the one hand, we can find Pompeii on this map, which indicates that its origins go back before the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 BC; on the other hand, we can also find Constantinople, which proves that it was modified after its foundation in AD 330. By the way, this paper proposes to analyze the contri-bution of this map to our knowledge of the Late Roman provincial geography, by looking at the topog-raphy, settlements and roads in the territory of a peripheral and little urbanized province: Dacia Rip-ensis. This study will rely on a comparison of the information found in all other ancient Itineraria, as well as in the Notitia Dignitatum, Hierokles' Synecdemus and through archaeological finds. That com-parison with the archaeological data is fundamental for the study of the Tabula, as it makes appear most interesting questions and issues, especially on the crossing points over the Danube. In this sector, the lack of convergence between the archaeological data and the indications of the Tabula offers rel-evant room for reflection to propose hypotheses about the composition of this part of the map. This paper is part of a doctoral dissertation, conducted within the DANUBIUS international project of the University of Lille and HALMA-UMR 8164 research center (https://danubius.huma-num.fr)

Danube, right in the middle of the Balkan area – went through a period of intense development
and prosperity during the second half of the 3rd century and for all the whole 4th century.
Economic wealth and political importance of Viminacium during this period are the
reasons that led to the establishment of a bishopric in the city, which is widely documented
by many sources gathered along the middle and lower reaches of the Danube. These sources
provide the name of some relevant bishops and may provide interesting information about
Viminacium’s position in the religious controversy against Arianism.
The first relevant information about Christian archaeology we can gain is the total absence
of any find indisputably related to the Bishopric Complex in the city, or to any other building
resembling urbane or rural churches. However, scholars have found some epigraphs, tombs,
paintings and sepulchral buildings that represent indisputable evidence of Christians in Viminacium.
