Abstract

: Salt exploitation at Ocna Mureş has been done since antiquity. The Dacians and then the Romans, exploited the salt here without interruption. In the Middle Ages salt was exploited and then transported by carts to Portus (near Alba Iulia), then to the Mureş River, to the center of Europe. Exploitation continued in the modern age when, with rawsalt, an important branch of the chemical industry, the chlorosodium industry, has developed.
