Summary/Abstract: In the article some observations are made concerning an unpublished inscription discovered in 2011 in the castrum of the legion XIII Gemina at Apulum (Alba Iulia). The text and the image of the inscriptions have recently been published with a very laconic interpretation, which defines a title of salariarius as an „administrative civil function in the administration of a salt storing place”. In this article another interpretation, based on analogies, is presented concerning the function of salariarius, while at the same time there is an analysis of the cult of the goddess Nemesis in Apulum and of the role of the two soldiers mentioned in the inscription.
