Troesmis

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

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

In the camp of the Legio V Macedonica a camp site ( canabae ), later a municipium emerged from the developed. An as yet unpublished fragmentary preserved city law shows that this municipium was founded during the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus ( 177-180 ).
