Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 27, 1999.

The statue of King Decebalus recalls the high Dacian civilization; the construction evokes the medieval fortress in whose shelter the locality developed.

The sun and the crescent signify the tumultuous life of the locality, an important administrative, economic and socio-cultural center of Hunedoara county.

The mural crown indicates that it is a county seat municipality.
