New research in the auxiliary fort at Énlaka/Inlăceni (Romania)

Author(s): Zsolt Visy

Keywords: Dacia; fortress of Inlăceni/Énlaka; reconstruction of fortresses in stone; blocking of gates

Summary/Abstract: The excavation in 2021 took place in the areas of the two side gates. It turned out that the stone gate towers were built later, under Caracalla. In the area of the porta principalis sinistra, the remains of the wall blocking the gate opening, which was built in the middle of the 3rd century, dame to light. During the excavation, a fragment of the building inscription of the cohors VIII Raetorum from the year 149 was found. The new inscription not only indicates the exact time of construction, but also indicates that the builder was this cohort and not the previously assumed cohors IIII Hispanorum.
