The author publishes two fragmentary Greek inscriptions mentioning C. Iulius Quintillianus, attested as governor of Moesia inferior c. 215 AD through a Roman military diploma (RMD IV, 609-610, App. I.1: leg(atus) Aug(usti) pr(o) pr(aetore)) and a series of coins from Marcianopolis (where the name is spelled Quintilianus). The first one was recently found by chance (2017) in the village lying near Istros/Histria (Fig. 1). It is an album issued by the well-known speira Dionysiaston recording the [hymnodoi] neoteroi who won the [agon] choron and the ‘overall contest’ (kata p[anton], with commentary). This new document allows a finer restoration of another album issued by the same association (Avram 2015, 129-133, no. 5) and furnishes new data on its activities. Furthermore, the name of the governor C. Iulius Quintillianus can be also identified in another fragmentary inscription of unknown provenance (region of Dobrudja, possibly Histria) belonging to the collection of the Institute of Archaeology at Bucharest (Fig. 2). This Quintil(l)ianus is, as already demonstrated in Eck – Roxan 1998, the same as C. Iulius Quintilianus attested as praefectus vigilum in 208-211.
