Historia
Thermidava is a toponym used by Ptolemy in relation to a settlement in the route of the Roman army during the Dacian campaign of Emperor Trajan. In the context of Ptolemy's narrative the settlement was located along the Lissus-Naissus route. In present-day Albania, this road ran parallel south of river Drini and met Theranda, whereas Ptolemy's position of Thermidava looks like being north of that river. The only other information about the name 'Thermidava' provided is that when Trajan passed through he was "greeted by friendly Dacians". No pro-Roman Dacians have been recorded in the region, nor is their presence considered likely. Some scholars consider Ptolemy's account to refer to a settlement north of the Danube, near the Banat area where the interests of the locals aligned with those of the Romans in the Dacian campaign.
