Altar in limestone (H. 0.49 Br. 0.25 D. 0.22), probably from Braila in the Territorium Troesmense. Jași, Lapidarium of the Historical Museum (Inv. No. 267).

Gr. Anițescu in Arta și Arkeologia III, 1929, 15.

Inv[icto] Mi/th[rae] [s]ac(rum) / L. Valerius / Fuscus c(enturio) / leg(ionis) V Mac(edonicae) / v(otum) s(olvit).

N. Gostar, Director of the Museum at Iași, in a letter to Prof. C. Daicoviciu suggests the name of V(e)nerius instead of Valerius. But L. Valerius is a very common name.
