In the course of these excavations, a new necropolis area was discovered, including five in situ sarcophagi, 51 tile tombs, and two amphora tombs. Among them, four sarcophagi bear funerary inscriptions dating from the Roman period. This paper presents one of these. The translation of this Latin inscription dated to Diocletian or Constantine is following as: “To the spirits of the dead! I, Tziampo, protector of the divine flank, restored my monument, originating from regio Pieucensis, province of Dacia Minor. He lived 50 years. And I want that nobody will be permitted to be deposed here except his son Severus or his wife. He served as horseman for nine years, as ordinarius for 11 years, and protected as protector for 10 years. But if another (person) dares to open (the sarcophagus), let him give the fiscus 20 folles and the city 10 folles. On the whole, he served for 30 years. Farewell, passers-by!

If identitary manifestations in the province of Dacia are hard to be found, they are instead more visible outside the province. The amount of epigraphic and iconographic evidence of persons originating from Dacia, mainly soldiers and their families, allows questioning about various expressions of their provincial identity (such as natione Dacus) inside the Roman Empire.

The sanctuary presumably encompassed a temenos, an altar and two smaller temples, oriented east-west, with the entrance on the eastern side. Unfortunately, illegal excavations were conducted on the area of the sanctuary by thieves, who stole the small reliefs offered to the deities venerated in the sanctuary, of which the authors of this paper could obtain the data of 31 fragmented votive plates, most of them inscribed. A variety of iconographic schemas, especially the standing divine couple or Zeus and Hera in quadriga, as well as the combination of three onomastics stocks (Thracian, Greek and Latin) illustrate the diversity of traditions and the cultural interferences at work during imperial times. It can be presumed that the sanctuary dedicated to Zeus and Hera Souideptēnoi existed from the 2nd to the end of the 3rd or the beginning of the 4th century.

Elles témoignent du culte d’une divinité locale, Hérôs Héphaïstos Dabatopios, figurée sous les traits du « Cavalier Thrace », et de l’onomastique mélangée d’une région sur laquelle les connaissances sont assez réduites.

L’inscription est réalisée en pointillé et fournit le nom du propriétaire, Muco, à savoir un anthroponyme thrace dont les occurrences ne sont pas très nombreuses. Il s’agit du premier témoignage certain sur la présence de soldats d’origine thrace à Porolissum. Cette modeste contribution est une partie d’une future monographie sur les « inscriptions mineures » à caractère militaire connues dans la province de Dacie.
