245 CIL 3. 1008=ILS 2476, inscription, Apulum (Alba Iulia), Dacia,<br />
2nd C.AD<br />
Sacred to the Fortune of the Emperor and the Genius of the people of<br />
the canabae, Lucius Silius Maximus, veteran of Legion I Adiutrix, Loyal<br />
and Faithful, the first to act as an official in the canabae, and Silia<br />
Januaria and Silius Firminus bestowed this as a gift.<br />
246 ILS 9106, inscription, Apulum, 2nd C.AD<br />
To Marcus Ulpius Apollinaris, prefect of the camp of Legion XIII<br />
Gemina, the councillors and <strong>Roman</strong> citizens dwelling in the canabae<br />
of the same legion, (set this up) from public funds.<br />
Inscriptions record decuriones of the canabae at Apulum and a guardian of the<br />
temple of <strong>Roman</strong> citizens (CIL 3. 1093; 1100; 1158). <strong>The</strong> camp at Apulum<br />
was the base of the Legion XIII Gemina which remained here from the conquest<br />
to the withdrawal under Aurelian. After Hadrian’s reorganization of the province<br />
Apulum was the headquarters of the governor of Upper Dacia, and after further<br />
changes by Marcus Aurelius, it became the seat of the governor of the three<br />
Dacias. <strong>The</strong> canabae developed to the south of the military establishment. In<br />
Marcus Aurelius’ reign this settlement received municipal status (Municipium<br />
Aurelium Apulense), and then colonial status perhaps under Commodus (CIL<br />
3. 7773). It seems that Septimius Severus established a second municipium in<br />
proximity to the colony, with which it coexisted.<br />
247 CIL 3. 6166=ILS 2474, inscription, Troesmis, Lower Moesia,<br />
2nd C.AD<br />
For the welfare of Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Gaius<br />
Valerius Pudens, veteran of Legion V Macedonica, and Marcus Ulpius<br />
Leontius, official of the inhabitants of the canabae, and Tuccius<br />
Aelianus, aedile, bestowed this as a gift for the veterans and <strong>Roman</strong><br />
citizens dwelling in the canabae of Legion V Macedonica.<br />
Canabae, and also a separate settlement, developed close to the base of Legion<br />
V Macedonica on the south bank of the lower Danube, and the latter was<br />
established as a municipium in the reign of Marcus Aurelius.<br />
