Sažetak
Siscia is far from being an unknown archaeological site as far as the Roman army and its material heritage are concerned. Nevertheless, there are still many uncertainties concerning the troops which garrisoned Siscia and one still does not know precisely where the Roman military camp was situated – or where Roman military camps were situated, depending on the period – where were the naval facilities and where exactly was the beneficiarii station. The presence of the latter is not in doubt, being proven by half a dozen epigraphic monuments. However, the exact discovery spot of those old finds was not accurately recorded and we cannot rely on them in order to situate more precisely the station, unless a thorough check of local archives can give some clues. More importantly, several recent finds of beneficiarii epigraphic monuments – summarily mentioned in some reports a while ago but somehow having escaped the attention of the scientific community – could be helpful in providing answers to questions related to the beneficiarii in Siscia. The presence of beneficiarii in Siscia is not an issue, a station must have been present in the city, at least in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, but its exact location is still unknown. Could these new finds, both old and more recent ones, offer some clues about the location of the station?
