newly discovered inscription during the rescue excavations within the fortress of the XIII Gemina legion at Apulum is published here. The marble slab was probably set by the members of a religious collegium (or of a collegium veteranorum?) that contributed everyone with one hundred denarii to build something inside the fortress during the Severan period. Two of the contributors were former soldiers of the legion, while the third was somehow connected with the collegium fabrum of the municipium Septimium Apulense.
