Date notes	The colonia Aurelia Apulense began as a 'vicus' on the territory of Sarmizegetusa. It was upgraded to a 'municipium' under Marcus Aurelius and subsequently to a 'colonia' under Commodus. There may have been a presence of the 'collegium fabrum' of Sarmizegetusa in the 'vicus', but this is not documented. An honorary inscription (CIL 03, 07805) set up in the first year of the new 'municipium' shows the existence of the 'collegium fabrum'. Presumably, therefore, it was established together with new city under Marcus Aurelius.
