Summary/Abstract: Roman archeology in Pojejena has brought with it the evolution of researches always new information about the military units that were stationed here, on the Danube. An indicator of this problem are the stamped bricks that were used to lift the buildings inside the fort and which are supposed to have been made locally by the garrison. The last archaeological excavations and noninvasive field researches carried out in the area of the praetoria gate, the only untouched previous excavations, gave us the chance for such discoveries, some of them extremely important because they completely change our perspective on the composition of the garrison.Also a good part of the pieces due to the context could be dated and none of the discoveries exceeds the moment of use in the middle of the third century.
