description <p class="p1">Let <em>D</em>=(<em>V,A</em>) be a digraph of order <em>n</em> = |<em>V</em>|. A <em>Roman dominating function</em> of a digraph <em>D</em> is a function <em>f</em> : <em>V </em> → {0,1,2} such that every vertex <em>u</em> for which <em>f</em>(<em>u</em>) = 0 has an in-neighbor <em>v</em> for which <em>f</em>(<em>v</em>) = 2. The weight of a <em>Roman dominating function</em> is the value <em>f</em>(<em>V</em>)=∑<sub>u∈V </sub><em>f</em>(<em>u</em>). The minimum weight of a <em>Roman dominating function</em> of a digraph <em>D</em> is called the <em>Roman domination number</em> of <em>D</em>, denoted by <em>γ<sub>R</sub></em>(<em>D</em>). In this paper, we characterize oriented trees <em>T</em> satisfying <em>γ<sub>R</sub></em>(<em>T</em>)+Δ<sup>+</sup>(<em>T</em>) = <em>n</em>+1.</p><p class="p2"> </p>
