Summary/Abstract: The author presents the inscriptions mentioning the soldiers originating from the western provinces of the Roman Empire in the military milieu of Novae (Moesia Inferior). A first period is connected to the presence of the legio I Augusta (45-69) and most of the recruited soldiers are from Italy. The recruitments from the legio I Italica, camped at Novae starting with Vespasian’s reign, are from celto-germanic provinces and from Noricum. Beginning with the middle of the 2nd century, most of the recruits are from Asia Minor and even from the region.
