The new reading differs slightly in the following lines: 1 [Ca]es[ar] MASHOV. – 3 [Nervae] MASHOV. – 4 [Trai]anu[s] MASHOV. – 5 Hadrianus MASHOV. The date is between August 11 and December 9 of 117 according to trib. pot. I and cos. II desig., cf. Kienast-2017, 123f. The stone belongs to the road along the Danube starting in the province of Moesia superior along the south bank of the Danube at Belgrade / Singidunum, reaching Moesia inferior and then leading further along the river until the Black sea, see M. Madzharov, Roman Roads in Bulgaria, Veliko Tǎrnovo 2009, 131-183. Until now only one earlier milestone from this road is known from the emperor Traian (EDCS-09100881 from Musait-Dunareni / Sacidava). The findspot Regianum seems to match the distance of 40 miles from Oescus. Citation of this article:

comment
In 1994 the milestone was found 2,5 km west of Kozloduy (near the ancient site of Regianum Ptol. 3,10,5; Geogr. Rav. 4,7 p. 190, 2) and subsequently published by S. Mashov, IMSZB 23, 1995, 537-540 [bulgarian]. Today it is preserved in the Regional Museum of Vratsa (Inv. 560) where it could be inspected together with Nicolay Sharankov and Ursula Kunnert in 2018. The milestone (of limestone) was broken into three fragments according to Mashov, but today only two damaged fragments are visible which are merged together. The measurements are: height 154 cm, diameter 38 cm, letters 8,6-5; ligatures are used in l. 3 for NE, l.6 for NT.
