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.

== Ecclesiastical History ==
==Septimius Severus==
Remesiana was import enough in the Late [[Roman province]] of [[Dacia Mediterranea]] to become (circa 300 AD) one of the [[suffragan]]s of its capital's Metropolitan, the [[Archdiocese of Serdica]], in the sway of the [[Patriarchate of Constantinople]].
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.
It was suppressed circa 500 AD.
 
Only two residential ''Suffragan Bishops of Remesiana'' are historically documented :

* Diogenianus, participant at the [[Second Council of Ephesus]] in 449.
