History
Svishtov is identified with the Roman colony Novae mentioned by Ptolemy. Ancient Rome was a Civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC Claudius Ptolemaeus ( Greek: Klaúdios Ptolemaîos; after 83 &ndash ca It served as a base of operations for Roman campaigns against Barbarian tribes, last time during Maurice’s Balkan campaigns. It was destroyed some time after 613, as shown by coin founds minted up to this date. The exact site appears to have been Staklen, to the west of the present town, which has gradually moved eastward since the 16th century, when it was almost destroyed in the Turkish wars.
It was at Svishtov that the peace of 1790 was signed, by which the Austrian-Turkish boundary was determined. The town was burned in 1810 by the Russians; but after 1820 it began to revive, and the introduction of steam traffic on the lower Danube (1835) restored its prosperity. The Romanian town of Alexandria was founded by fugitives from Svishtov after the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829. Romania ( dated: Rumania, Roumania Alexandria is the capital city of the Teleorman County, Romania. The Russo–Turkish War of 1828–1829 was sparked by the Greek War of Independence.
Svishtov is known as the first town to be liberated during the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-78, since the largest part of the Imperial Russian Army forced the Danube nearby. The Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 had its origins in a rise in nationalism in the Balkans as well as in the Russian goal of recovering territorial losses it had suffered The Military history of Imperial Russia encompasses the period of warfare in which Russian Empire ground, naval and air forces participated from its creation
