guy Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) The Gonio Fortress, also known as Asparos, was a remarkable structure located on the Black Sea coast in Georgia. Numismatic evidence indicates that Legio X Fretensis stopped at this fort while en route to campaign with Trajan during the Parthian Wars. Recent discoveries in the area include a gemstone depicting Minerva and a stone slab featuring Latin inscriptions.: https://www.heritagedaily.com/2023/11/new-discoveries-at-gonio-roman-fortress/149100 Here is an older post of the drone view of the Gonio fortress from several years ago: Edited October 30 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
