Micia was initially a large Roman fort for auxiliary troops outside which a large town developed. The archaeological site is located in the commune of Vețel, Hunedoara County in Transylvania, Romania.
It was important as it monitored and secured the road to the centre of Transylvania and the river route along the frontier to Partiscum, today Szeged, Hungary as well as supervising the adjacent mining area. In addition, there was a strategically important river port.
