Troesmis was an ancient Dacian town and later ancient Roman city and legionary fortress, a major site situated on the Danube and forming a key part of the Limes Moesiae frontier system.[1] Around the fortress the Geto-Dacian town developed.[2][3]
It is situated in what is now Romania near Igliţa-Turcoaia.
Between 107 and 163 it was the home of the Roman Legio V Macedonica. The Notitia Dignitatum shows that in 337–361 it was the headquarters of Legio II Herculia.[4]
