<p><span>We are continuing our series of studies regarding the topography of Roman Dacia with this short note regarding the route of the Roman road which connected the valley of the Mureș River with the fort from Călugăreni, located on the Eastern frontier of Roman Dacia. New cartographic data, combined with terrain observations, lead to some important information which allows us to reconstruct the route of this road. It crosses through several current villages, namely Livezeni, Ivănești, Veța, Moșuni, Vărgata, Grâușorul, Dămieni and it reaches the Roman fort in Călugăreni (Mureș County). Our study will detail all the discoveries registered within the area of the settlements mentioned above. By accurately mapping the route of the roman road, we can offer tools for the protection of this important Roman landscape element.</span></p>
