Neuss-Reckberg
Q1746901Neuss-Reckberg: auxiliary fort of the legionary base at Neuss (Germany).
Near the large legionary base of Neuss was a small fort at Reckberg, which is not fully understood. It was close to the river Rhine and appears to have been built in the mid-second century. The occupation of Reckberg lasted until the third century.
One of the units appears to have been a squadron called Ala Parthorum. A silver ring with an inscription mentions
DECVRIONI ALAE
PaRTHORVM VETERANO
QVOI PRAeESt
PVBLIVS VIBIVS
RVFVS
PaRTHORVM VETERANO
QVOI PRAeESt
PVBLIVS VIBIVS
RVFVS
which may be translated "to the retired decurio of the squadron of the Parthians that is commanded by Publius Vibius Rufus".
