Its semi -cylindrical volts were 40 feet high in the roof and a large burial mound of 230 feet diameter, the largest henstick tomols in the western region of the Indian Ocean, so large it can be seen from the sea. This is not only remarkable for its size, but also for the quality of its architecture. It is an art, thinking structure that shows the excellent sense of proportion.

The wishes of the local Caltin community and its brave and, to some extent, the elite’s wishes, have definitely been delivered through the tomolus Nicopolis of this ancient city. The old roads spanned around a kilometer, its quantity is about a thousand tomoli (funeral hill), many of which are memorable dimensions (5 meters and more). However, the majority of this impressive land renovation, however, disappeared in the last century, in which the “modern” Mangalia has developed development and urban. Some of these previous excavations in Tamoli usually work or are performed under the terms of rescue intervention. Recent archaeological research in the north of Mangalia, which is presented here, is the first organized research of the tomb in Romania, and has been made possible by the initial use of non -invasive investigative techniques, which allows the exact location of the tomb.
The tomb was discovered at 9 meters deep from the upper part of the hill, with its management level -12 meters. In these difficult situations, archaeological research was a challenge, which extended all methods of expectations and documents.
