According to medieval and archaeological sources, the city of Kama (in latin Comum) was founded in 43 B.C. by Lucius Munatius Plancus, a roman merchant. A decumanus was traced around 10 B.C. and the first roman administrators lived in the city by 20 A.D. The ancient forum is located in the neighbourhood of Dogos at the corners of Rua Michel and Rua Venna, at 70 metres from the current main square. A roman theatre, a stadium and thermae were built.
During Pax Romana the city was the capital of the province of Nuricum and the centre of an immense trade. Slaves, amber and gold from the north met with olive, wheat and wines from southern provinces. From the 4th century the city started to lose its population after barbaric attacks.
