Summary/Abstract: The article is an exhaustive presentation of a batch of 10 bricks and stamped roof tiles belonging to the XI CLAVDIA legion, found in the Pietroasele hypocaust building/balneum, most of which were discovered during the 2011-2013 campaigns. To the five types of stamps discovered in Pietroasele a new one is added, making 6 out of the 12 types known to belong to this Roman legion present on site. All six types of stamps are from between the beginning of the 2nd century and the first half of the 3rd century A.D., this interval being an important chronological factor in the dating of the building and the use of the edifice.
