Mehadia (Hungarian: Mehádia; German: Mehadia; Turkish: Mehadiye) is a small market town and commune in Caraș-Severin County, Banat, Romania. It lies on the European route E70, in the Cerna River valley. The town is located on the site of the ancient Roman colony Ad Mediam and was noted for its Hercules baths.[2][3] It had a population of 2,492 in 1900, and of 4,118 in 2011. The commune is prone to major recurring flooding. The 1838 floods destroyed some 2,000 houses in the valley and the 1841 floods in Mehadia were also devastating.[4] It experienced major flooding more recently in May 2005.
The commune is composed of four villages: Globurău (Golbor), Mehadia, Plugova (Ekés), and Valea Bolvașnița (Bolvásvölgy).
