An ancient Roman fortified military camp, west of ancient Lambaesis. It has been described as camp of auxiliaries (as opposed to legionaries), but may simply be an additional, earlier location of the legionary camp. The rectangular defensive perimeter is still detectable among the agricultural fields which have otherwise largely effaced the site.
