Tinosu or Pisculeşti was the location of a Dacian fortified town, occupied sometime between the 2nd century BCE to 1st century CE.[1]
Located on the eastern bank of the Prahova River, the town was fortified with a fosse and wall topped with a palisade.[1] The site was excavated by Cezar Bolliac in the 1860s.[2] Discoveries of Getic and Roman coins from the reign of Claudius have allowed archaeologists to date its occupation.[1]
