History
Two Roman burgi near Băile Homorod date from the 2nd century AD. The Roman burgus HR-I-s-B-12650 is located on the Földvár promontory at the confluence of the Cetăţii stream and the V Homorodului. The Roman burgus HR-I-s-B-12651 is located on the Földvár promontory at the fork of the Văii Seci, 200 metres from the fortification at Pârâul Cetăţii. The two sites therefore share the Földvár promontory, but differ in their immediate relation to the confluence and the fork.
