Abstract: 

In the past two decades, several epigraphic monuments have been found at the settlement of Yurta -Stroyno and its immediate vicinity. Their discovery contributed to the archaeological knowledge of the site but also placed the settlement into a broader context of the middle Tundzha River region. This chapter examines in detail three inscriptions associated with the site which were found before 2014, and three objects with epigraphic value and eight graffiti found during the Yurta -Stroyno Archaeological Project in 2014–2016. The discussion of all 14 epigraphic objects and their regional comparanda are improving our understanding of the settlement’s character and its links to other sites in the region. Based on the textual evidence from the inscriptions, it seems Yurta -Stroyno and the military camp at Kabyle, located some 34 km north of the settlement were interconnected during the 2nd c. AD by personal and military associations alike.
