=== Site of the Assembly ===
Austrian historian [[Karl Patsch]]'s opinion that the provincial assembly of [[Moesia Superior]] sat at Remesiana, based upon the fact that some inscriptions were discovered, "inaugurated between 202 and 209 by [[Ulpiana]] in honour of [[Septimius Severus]] and [[Julia Domna|Julia Augusta]]
One can see in a recently discovered inscription of identical content<ref>Vulich, ''Ancient Monuments of our country'', Spomenik XCVIII, 1941–1948, 3, No. 4</ref> that these inscriptions were inaugurated in 202. However, that year Septimius Severus returned from the east to Rome and probably passed through Remesiana and on that occasion the inscriptions were inaugurated.
