Summary/Abstract: New invasive archaeological investigations from the inner areas of the Roman fort from Orheiu Bistriţei conducted in the summer of 2019 have yielded thirteen pottery vessels with graffiti. The inscribed texts discovered at Orheiu Bistriţei are, without exception, written in Latin and were incised after the pots were fired (post cocturam). Generally, these depict the name of the owner with one exception, which might depict a number.
