40.3 x 28 x 4.1 cm, the width varies from 2.5 to 7 cm. About the bricks of the
type of lydion see Brodribb [1987, 37-40].
Near the newly found wooden and earthen Roman camp and in the same place
“Lyaskovets” a strong Roman stone fortress, long known in the scientific
literature, is located [ΙΧΙκορπΗη 1905, 29, CXIV/ 2, a, c] and has lately been
determined as being late Roman [EtuBapoB 1990, 136/ 7], Recently, an opinion
has been expressed that this stone fortress should be identified with the known
from the written sources Nigrinianis [Petkov 1999, 237-238]. Traditionally,
Nigrinianis is associated with another fortress, located 3 km to the east, on the
territory of the neighboring village of Malak Preslavets (fig. 3). It is considered
that the last one carried this name from 86 to 284, and was later renamed as
Candidiana?
However, let me go back to the brick seal that is the reason for the present
announcement (fig. 2). It clearly says coh(ors) /. A sign follows, which looks
like an X, inscribed in a circle [Tomlin 1979, 233], It designates that the cohort
under discussion was milliaria. During the reign of Emperor Augustus auxilia
were organized in three types: cohors peditata, cohors equitata and ala. Later
on, milliaria were organized from each of these types. About one third from the
