The article proposes a new reading and interpretation of three inscriptions
engraved on small bronze plaques in the shape of tabula ansata from the
Danubian limes in Upper Moesia - two from Pincum and one from Viminacium,
associating the inscribed objects with the cult of Jupiter Dolichenus. The
revised inscriptions also provide new data on the Roman units stationed on
the Upper Moesian Danube bank, as two of the dedicators are identified as
members of the ala Flaviana.
