2015-2016 represented the second half of the initial archaeological research program implemented by the University of Bucharest team in Histria (Constanța County, Romania). We delimited the last Late Roman insula, divided into two nuclei (N and S), with two phases of functioning. Phase I: first half of the 6th c. – 559 (Kutrigur raid); Phase II: reign of Justin II – beginning of the 7th c.
