Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to present a new bronze phalera, discovered on the surface of the Roman settlement at Dragu (Sălaj county). The phalera is part of a cavalry outfit, its dating being early, at the beginning of the 2nd century AD, probably immediately after the Roman conquest. The piece is an exception, very early for this environment, having a direct analogy with the phalera of the same type from Sarmizegetusa Regia.
