Remains of the Roman garrison in Troesmis

Troesmis was an ancient Roman city and military camp on the right bank of the Lower Danube . It was in the Roman province of Moesia inferior (Lower Moesia ). In Troesmis, the Via Pontica met the road along the Danube. Today the place is in the Tulcea County in Romania .

From 107 to 161 the Roman Legio V Macedonica was stationed here, after 180 the Legions I Italica and XI Claudia , and between 337 and 361 the Legio II Herculia . In the early 5th century, the Milites secundi Constantini , an auxiliary unit , lay here as a garrison.

At the camp of the Legio V Macedonica a camp city ( canabae ) developed , from which a municipality later emerged. A not yet published fragmentary city law shows that this municipality was founded during the joint rule of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus (177-180).
