"Worldwide there are more and more excavations annually, but Cambustica and the region it is geographically situated in standout, specifically for classical archaeologists studying the ancient Greco-Roman World and its civilization(s). What was special about working at Cambustica was that the area this Roman fortress is situated in is home to a group or series of archaeological sites that form a rich and relatively untouched archaeological region that forms the last known great and unexcavated remains of the once might Roman Empire. Rataria and the renown site of Gamzigrad or Felix Romuliana, just inside the Serbian border, are both parts of this archaeological region and its rich heritage. This is what made doing excavation work at Cambustica, situated near these other historic and archaeological sites and remains, a real pleasure and privilege."
