Aiadava (Aiadaba or Aeadaba, Greek: Αἰάδαβα[1]) was a Dacian town in the Remesiana region,[2] present day Bela Palanka, Serbia.
After the Romans conquered Moesia in the 75 BC, the new castrum (imperial domain with estates) and municipium was known initially as Ulpianorum and then Remesiana (Moesi) and laid on the Via Militaris road, between Naissus and Serdica.
Emperor Justinian (r. 527–565) had following strongholds in the district of Remesiana:

The patron saint of Romania, Nicetas of Remesiana, was a 4th-century bishop at Remesiana, of possible Dacian descent.[3]
