Isaccea is a small town in
Tulcea County, in
Dobruja,
Romania, on the right bank of the
Danube, 35 km north-west of
Tulcea. According to the 2002 census, it has a population 5,614. The town has been inhabited for thousands of years, as it is one of the few places in all the Lower Danube that can be easily
forded and thus an easy link between the
Balkans and the steppes of Southern
Russia. The Danube was for a long time the border between the Romans, later Byzantines and the "barbarian" migrating tribes in the north, making Isaccea a
border town, conquered and held by dozens of different peoples.
