| Serdika is my Rome |
| The construction of the subway in downtown Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, revealed a possibility for archaeologists to make a series of finds of Roman ruins from the city’s long-buried past. |
|
|
Sofia started off as a Thracian settlement sometime in 8th – 7th century BC.
During the times of the Roman Empire, the city grew larger.
Constantine the Great used to say “Serdika is my Rome”.

|
The Roman Emperor Constantine the Great had a Roman palace in the center in Serdika and used to stay there often. |
|
|
It is believed that during his reign, the earliest Christian temple was built thus preceding the present-day church of Saint Sofia which gave the current name of the city. |
