Inscription C IIII BE on stamped brick found at Olteni
It was originally recruited from natives of Hispania Baetica, Roman province created on 29 BC, after the division of province Hispania Ulterior. In a bronze inscription dated 51-74 AD, which was found in Bergamo on 1871, it is mentioned a member of the cohors "M(arcus) Sempronius Fuscus praefectus cohortis Baeticae".[1]
