Porolissum Geosite. Morphology, Archaeology and Topography. Porolissum, the northest Roman city of Dacia, that derives its name from the Dacian settlement of Porolisson, was built mainly on Pomet hill, close to Moigrad village. It comprised the large amphiteatrum castrense, access gates, temples of different Gods, an aerial aqueduct coming from Meseş, a large necropolis, therms, a series of other public and private buildings and auxiliary fortresses. The Roman road that went along the north-western border of Dacia Porolissensis, that started at Bologa and ended at Porolissum, was of great importance in the area, being used even in the 19th century.
