“…The northern part of the vicus at Tibiscum resembles a tangent‐type settlement, one of the three types observed in the province Germania (Sommer, , 81–83), but mostly not in a pure form but rather a combination of two or even all three types: street‐, tangential‐ or ring‐shaped vicus (Hanel, , 411; Sommer, , 83). As it has been observed by I. Oltean, the internal arrangement of the excavated part of Tibiscum vicus has close similarities with vici in Micia, Razboieni and Porolissum where many buildings have rooms on both sides of a central corridor and a portico facing the street, and individual properties had access from the streets via passageways to the workshops at their back (cf.…”

“…The position of the gates indicates the starting points of the roads running outside the defences. In comparison to other similar Roman settlements, it was expected that cemeteries as well as ancillary buildings, including extramural baths may have stretched along the edges of these roads (Hanel, , 411–412).…”

“…Therefore, their inhabitants were not allowed to buy and own this land. Still, the civilians formed quasi‐municipal governments and made efforts to change their status, especially due to the fact that some of these settlements were actually large and prosperous towns (Hanel, , 413). In some cases, the civilians built another settlement at a certain distance from the camp, where the land was under the control of the Roman civilian authorities.…”

“…Legionary bases, which were bigger than auxiliary forts, were accompanied by a civilian settlement of traders, servicemen and camp followers ( canabae ), while at a certain distance (usually around 2 km) there was another settlement, which could develop into a town, usually with municipal rights ( municipium ). This phenomenon is today described as ‘settlement duality’ (Hanel, , 413; Piso, ). Scholars agree that from the second half of the second century this ‘settlement duality’ evolved and many canabae were granted municipal status, while the second civilian town in the vicinity (if it already had possessed municipal rights) was raised to the status of a Roman colonia, i.e.…”

The Roman military fort Tibiscum which existed from the beginning of the second up to the third quarter of the third century ad was manned by various auxiliary units, including Syrian Palmyrenians and Germanic Vindelici. Its irregular shape and relatively big surface, usual for the forts of that type, as well as not having entirely clear settlement structures visible on both sides of the Timiş River drew attention of many scholars. The non‐destructive research project carried out in 2014–2016 allowed to reassess the ancient landscape around the fort. Although the site was excavated for almost 100 years, the rural hinterland of Tibiscum has never been investigated systematically. An integrated archaeological prospection method combined with the use of modern surveying tools resulted in establishing the accurate position of the known extramural remains and the location of a dozen of new sites and features within the radius of ca 3 km around the fort. The results of the surveys compared with the old maps and previous excavations led to the new conclusions concerning the topography of Roman Tibiscum and the development of the civilian settlement in its vicinity. The analysis of acquired archaeological data compared with historical sources give assumptions to the question of the existence of a separate town on the east side of the Timiş River which was granted municipal status by the end of the second century ad. The authors of the present article are rather willing to believe that it was the extramural settlement (vicus), located on the west bank of Timiş, which was granted municipal rights, probably at the end of the second or at the beginning of the third century ad.

En este trabajo presentamos un estado de la investigación sobre las aglomeraciones secundarias de carácter militar en Hispania. Éste es un campo apenas tratado por los investigadores peninsulares hasta el momento. La menor densidad de campamentos y fuertes romanos en la antigua Hispania y su concentración durante el periodo republicano y augusteo, explica en parte esta situación. Conocemos menos de una decena de acantonamientos militares altoimperiales con estructuras constructivas permanentes en España. Por el momento no se conoce ni la estructura urbana ni siquiera la ubicación de los vici militaris de fuertes como Cidadela o Baños de Bande, mientras conocemos alguna noticia aislada del de Rosinos de Vidriales. Recientemente se ha realizado algunos progresos en el conocimiento del vicus militar del campamento augusteo tiberiano de la legio IIII Macedonica en Herrera de Pisuerga. Sin duda es León el que ha experimentado un progreso más significativo en este sentido. Junto los restos cada vez más numerosos de la aglomeración secundaria surgida al otro lado de los fosos del campamento, se ha constatado la presencia de un segundo vicus militar hasta ahora desconocido a escasos kilómetros. El vicus de Puente Castro presenta las características de los establecimientos de este tipo habituales en las fronteras septentrionales. Su cronología se extiende desde mediados del siglo I d. C. hasta el 270 d. C., momento en que sufre una destrucción violenta.
