Amutria (Amutrion, Amutrium, Admutrium,[1] Ad Mutrium, Ad Mutriam, Ancient Greek: Ἀμούτριον[2]) was a Dacian town close to the Danube and included in the Roman road network, after the conquest of Dacia.
The name is homonymous with the ancient name of the nearby Motru River. Its possible position at this river's junction gives a certain importance.[3]
