Summary/Abstract: The present paper analyses all the epigraphical information referring to the presence of a vexillation of the Legion VII Gemina in Dacia Porolissensis (Porolissum, Potaissa). We advance the hypothesis that the unit was sent to Dacia as a punishment for participating at the usurpation ofClodius Albinus in 196/197. Somehow, the stationing in Dacia was for a short period of time, before receiving the epithet Pia, sometimes between 202-205.
