Castra Centum Putei was a Roman fort in the Roman province of Dacia, translated as "a hundred wells/mines/pits".
It is located about 1.5 km NE of the village of Forotic in the place called Rovina. The fort is cut into two equal parts by the Surduc - Doclin road.
The fort was built by the soldiers of the Legio IV Flavia Felix near the pre-existing mining town.
The vicus (civil settlement) included the families of the miners who extracted copper.[2]
