The present study undertakes a reinterpretation of the tile stamp published for the first time by D. Tudor in 1965 with the reading FANIUS, interpreted as a civilian tile workshop owner. Even though no other stamps pertaining to this civilian tile manufacturer have been discovered at Drobeta, this particular stamp was interpreted in the same way in all subsequent publications. Our reading shows that is a tile stamp with the abbreviated name of the Legio V Macedonica, in the form V (quinta) Mac(edonica) retrograde. This new type completes the series of legion’s abbreviated name on tile stamps known from Drobeta.

Keywords: tile stamp; Drobeta; Legio V Macedonica.
