A new military diploma copied after an imperial constitution issued for the auxiliary soldiers of the exercitus Daciae Porolissensis during Antoninus Pius’ 19th tribunicia potestas (the 10th of December, 155 – the 9th of December, 156) is published here. Although fragmentary, the list of the units can be reconstructed following the attestations from other imperial constitutions issued in AD 150 to 160. Unfortunately the name of the recipient and the unit and its commander are not preserved, nor the name of the governor. However, the latter one could be Tib. Claudius Quintilianus, attested for the year AD 157 (CIL III 836) as praesidial procurator of the province.
