Potaissa

Potaissa became a castra in the Roman province of Dacia, placed in today's Turda, Romania. The Dacians set up a town that Ptolemy in his Geography calls Patreuissa, which might be a corruption of Patavissa or Potaissa, the latter being more not unusual. It turned into conquered through the Romans, who kept the call Potaissa, among AD 101 and 106, at some point of the rule of Trajan, collectively with components of Decebal's Dacia.

The name Potaissa is first recorded on a Roman milliarium discovered in 1758 in the close by Aiton commune. Milliarium of Aiton is an historic Roman milestone courting from 108 AD, shortly after the Roman conquest of Dacia, and displaying the construction of the street from Potaissa to Napoca, by demand of the Emperor Trajan. It suggests the gap of 10,000 ft to Potaissa. This is the primary epigraphical attestation of the settlements of Potaissa and Napoca in Roman Dacia. This milliarium is an attestation of the street recognized to be constructed by means of Cohors I Hispanorum miliaria.
