ResumoA new military diploma, acquired by the Hungarian National Museum (pls. ii, iii, I), furnishes us with fresh evidence of Dacian settlements south of the Danube. We publish this new document with the kind permission of Professor Paulovics, Keeper of Roman Antiquities in that museum. Only the front leaf of the diploma has been discovered; the statement of the dealer, that it was found in the Danube near Nicopol in Bulgaria, is trustworthy. The tablet is slightly damaged on the right top of the front side, but this does not obscure the reading; it measures 94 by 118 millimetres and is 1·5 millimetres thick. It weighs 113·15 grammes.
