The Roman Fort of Citera Hill

In the fort of Citera hill with the approximate size of 110 x 90 m was placed a special fighter troop for the open spaces in the low lands. The troop here was made up of Palmyren archers brought from Palmyra (Syria) right from the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. and they continued to stay in Porolissum. Known as Numerus Palmyrenorum Sagittariorum Porolissensium, the unit also had a riding archer squad.
