Roman Bulgaria occupied an important position in the heart of the Balkans, between the Black Sea, the Aegean, and Asia Minor.

The Roman remains preserved in Bulgaria today are remarkably varied and include theatres, stadiums, baths, fortifications, early Christian churches and some exceptional mosaic floors.
