A fragment of a Roman military diploma, discovered in the vicinity of the former village of Micoșlaca, nowadays part of the city of Ocna Mureș, can be here published. Although, the fragment has been discovered by the mean of the metal detecting, the founder fully collaborated with the heritage police officers of the Alba County. The exact location was thus thoroughly investigated, and all the relevant topographical and archaeological context of the discovery has been clarified. The fragment turns out to be another copy of the imperial constitution issued on the 8th of July, 158 for the former auxiliary soldiers of the Dacia superior province, constitution already known through the almost complete military diploma discovered in 1886 at Cristești (nowadays part of the city of Târgu-Mureș, Mureș County). Taking into account the place of the discovery, it is likely that the copy had been given to a former horseman of the ala I Batavorum milliaria, accommodated within the large Războieni-Cetate Roman fort.
