The tablet features Latin inscriptions telling of Trajan’s bridge; the longest bridge in the world for 1,000 years following its construction. Emperor Trajan completed the road across the Danube leading into Dacia. The bridge was 1,097 m long and 20 column supported the architectural masterpiece. In 1969, because of the Djerdap Project, building a dam over Danube river, Trajan's carvings with the inscription / Trajan's Plaque was protected from sinking by raising it by 20/25 m. It was placed just above the original location, cutting and fixing the entire block of the old bearing - a stone monolith together with the inscription and part of the road, about 300 tons in weight. #InStone #History Photo Contest #Serbia #Romania #Danube](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975855679/017e6491-7981-455c-be4d-62c1241b4e46.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Bigar Waterfall 😍 Romania 🇷🇴](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635943690442/03f6fbdc-0828-4335-ad59-b41387d3d8e6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) !['Located on the 45th parallel north, Bigăr Waterfall is extremely delicate and unusual, with a water curtain falling down some lush green vegetation, and is set in a very remote, peaceful, and picturesque area of Romania, where the rolling hills create a real fascination for the authenticity of our nation’s past.
