The arrival of the Romans at the Lower Danube and transforming this area into the Roman province of Moesia Inferior led to a radical change of the landscape. A wide space is occupied and organized by the army. The Romans slowly introduced their own model of territorial administration. It took them almost two centuries and required enormous military resources since the local population mounted fierce resistance. It is still difficult to assess accurately what effect the Roman conquest and the subsequent period of Roman occupation had on the development of the landscape. There can be emphasized few aspects in which the landscape was transformed under the Roman rule: changes in pattern of rural settlements, changes in the nature of land use and agrarian exploitation and changes in organizing the road network. Currently available data are unequal for various archaeological sites and issues outlined. Taking into account not only the position of Moesia – a province at the periphery of the Roman world, characterized by the coexistence of two important cultural patterns: Greek and Roman, without leaving aside the native element, but also the dimensions of its territory, we shall focus on few sites, better studied from the point of view of the Roman landscape and representative for the three sub-regions of Moesia Inferior: limes, the Greek coastal cities and the interior of the province.
