IlCastellum Tamudensein età severiana (riassunto)

A recently found inscription from Suiar near the ruins ofTamuda(now in the Tetuan museum, Morocco) dated April 11, 210 A.D., is in a way associated to the restoration and defensive strengthening ofCastellum Tamu[dense], in Severan times. This small camp, from Commodus' reign onwards, possibly housed avexillatioofBrittones, under the command of apraepositus, a decurion of the[al]a III Asturum. Thisvexillatiohad probably been garrisoned inThamusida.The dedication to Jupiter, made on the 65th anniversary of Septimius Severus, after the end of his victorious campaign in Britain, also evokes a procurator ofMauretania Tingitanawho was most likely later involved in the repression ordered by Caracalla after the murder of his brother Geta, as the use ofabolitio noministends to prove.A final acclamation (et deinceps ob[ser]vabimus) might refer to the celebration of a propitiatory sacrifice that the soldiers under the command of thepraeposituspledged themselves to renew under the same imperial circumstances.
