Summary/Abstract: The anthroponyms: Cl(audii) Domiti(I) Evaresti, Theo/timus and Canovius were impressed on mortaria cretacea; Canovius, Firmus and Felicio, on some lamps and a stamp with Gatus f(ecit), placed on the bottom of a terra sigillata cup. The letters: L, nomen gentile and S, cognomina were impressed on a rectangular brick, with two negative stamps made of metal; P, nomen gentile and S, cognomina, digito scripta on other rectangular brick. An incomplete anthroponym was made by cutting with a stillus in the unfired clay of a bowl. The letters: D, nomen gentile and B, cognomina were impressed with a negative stamp made of metal, on the lip of a fragmentary ewer. All these epigraphical ceramic materials were casual descoveries in the large archaeological area of the double urban centre of Apulum. Chronologically, they can be dated to the Hadrianus-Antoninus Pius period. Some of them belong to a private collection.
