In the time of the Roman Empire, the name of the town was Zanes while the fortifications was known as Diana and Pontes (from Greek ;sea -pontos, or Roman bridge - pontem). Emperor Trajan had a number of fortications constructed in the area during the Roman times, such as the well-known Trajan's Bridge (Pontes was built on the Serbian side, Theodora was built on the Romanian side).
