Tabula Traiana
Трајанова табла
A Roman monument carved into a cliff in 100 AD, recording the emperor Trajan's construction of a military road along the Danube. It can now only be seen from the river or the opposite bank.
The Tabula Traiana is an inscription carved by the Romans to commemorate the building of a military road along the cliffs of the gorge, before their conquest of Dacia. The stone face is decorated with dolphins and winged spirits. When the Iron Gate Dam was built, the tablet was cut out whole, raised about 20 meters and set into the cliff on the Serbian side. It cannot be reached by land and can only be viewed from a Danube cruise boat or from viewpoints on the Romanian bank. It is a fixed highlight of the Cazane cruise.
