SEXANTAPRISTA

SEXANTAPRISTA (Ἑξαντάπριστα, Procop. de Aed. 4.11. p. 307), a town of Moesia Inferior, on the Danube, on the great high-road between Trimammium and Tigra. (Itin. Ant. p. 222.) According to the Notit. Imp. (where it is called Sexagintaprista), the 5th cohort of the 1st Legio Ital., together with a squadron of cavalry, lay in garrison here. Some identify it with Rustschuk, whilst others place it further to the E., near Lipnik.
