The Roman town of Durostorum was established in 29 year<br />BC and became the capital of the Roman province Moesia. It was<br />initially a bivouac, built over a former Thracian settlement. In 5<br />year BC it got deserted after being plundered by Goths, Huns, Avars,<br />Slavs, Proto-Bulgarians and other tribes. During the middle ages the<br />name of the town was Drastar.
