A Note on a Fragmentary List of Names from Noviodunum

The fragment of inscription found at Noviodunum (Isaccea) contains the names of five individuals. They hold each two names suggesting their initial peregrin origin. Given the importance of the find place and especially the position of Noviodunum as the headquarters of the Moesian Fleet (Classis Flavia Moesica), the five men must be considered most likely discharged classici from the same unit, apparently in the same headquarters. The piece may be part of a longer list of veterans from the fleet written up and exposed on the occasion of the discharge of a contingent likely in late 2 nd or early 3rd century.
