The paper presents the archaeological sites in the environs of the modern settlement of Bela Cerkev and the results of archaeological excavations in 2002, prior to motorway construction. Excavations at four (?) different, but contiguous locations (Dolge njive, Draga 1, Draga 2 in Draga 3) revealed and documented part of the line of the road, the masonry foundations of buildings, numerous post-built structures, a cemetery and domestic material, dating to the Roman period. The paper also considers hypotheses surrounding the location of the Roman-period roadside settlement of Crucium. It is posited that the excavation on these sites have revealed the location of the Roman roadside settlement of Crucium, which was occcupied or functioned in the period from the 1st to the 4th Centuries AD.V prispevku so predstavljena arheološka najdišča v okolici Bele Cerkve, podrobneje izsledki izkopavanj iz leta 2002, ko smo pri raziskavah na različnih lokacijah (Dolge njive, Draga 1, Draga 2 in Draga 3) dokumentirali del trase ceste, zidane temelje objektov, večje število vkopov za stojke, grobišče in naselbinsko gradivo iz rimske dobe. Povzeli bomo tudi hipoteze o domnevnih lokacijah rimske poštne postaje Crucium. Domnevamo, da smo odkrili rimski Crucium, ki je bil poseljen oziroma v funkciji od 1. do 4. st. n. št
