inscriptions found: 1
publication: IV-1912-3b = RA-1915-181,137 = EDCS-J-2-07/2020
The above newly proposed reconstruction of the whole inscription follows EDCS-28500161, although the division of lines remains uncertain. This follows the observation that the names of both emperors are given in all the milestones from Moesia inferior during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Otherwise the brothers Skorpil had proposed the following reading without mentioning line divisions or abbreviations: [Imp. Caes. M. Aurelius Antoninus Aug., divi Antonini filius, divi Hadriani nepos] divi Traiani pronepos, divi Nervae abnepos, a LX Pristis per cohortem II Flaviam Brittonum Servilio Fabiano, legato Augusti pro praetore. This reading is discussed by Seure who considers if both emperors, Marcus and Lucius, had originally been mentioned, but remains – with suggested abbreviations – with the six lines read by the Skorpils. For the provincial governor M. Servilius Fabianus Maximus see PIR² S 583, Thomasson, Laterculi praesidum I, ex parte retractatum, 2009, 51 n. 20:093. According the proposed supplements of the inscription the date is 162 or 163 like EDCS-28500161 from the year 162/3 or EDCS-29100030 from the year 162. 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 two earlier milestones are known from the emperors Traian (EDCS-09100881, Musait-Dunareni / Sacidava) and Hadrian (A. Kolb, EDCS-76700106 from Kozloduy / Regianum). Citation of this article:

comment
In 1910 in Rusé (BG) / Sexaginta Prista a milestone had been found near the river bank of the Danube during the building works of the new harbour. At that time only H. and K. Skorpil saw the stone and published it: H. et K. Skorpil, IV 5, 1912, 3b. At that time it was already broken into two fragments, but still 125 cm in height, the upper part missing, therefore only six lines could be read. In 1915 the find was reported and commented (but not seen) by G. Seure, RA 5, 1915, 181-184 n. 137. In 1975 L. Hollenstein inspected the stone in the lapidarium near to the archaeological museum of Rusé, but only a fragment of 50 cm was left then. Again in 2007 at the same location it was possible to see the same fragment of limestone with five lines of the inscription (diam. 45 cm; letters 6/7 cm).
