Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the texts in which the name of Bessi at Mihai Bravu (northern Lower Moesia) is attested. It seems that one of the oldest mentions of Bessi to the north of the Roman province of Moesia Inferior is a military diploma issued by Vespasian for Tarsa, at Mihai Bravu. This research tries to explain the early presence of the Thracian tribe in this part of the province.
