CUMIDAVA (Rîşnov) Braşov, Romania.

Roman camp and civil settlement near the modern town. The name is mentioned by Ptolemy (3.8.4). The camp (114 x 130 m) was built of earth in the first half of the 2d c.; it was built in stone and enlarged (124 x 118 m), and rebuilt again towards the middle of the 3d c. The stone walls that enclose it had round corners defended inside by rectangular towers. Its gates were flanked by two slightly protruding bastions.

The Cohors VI nova Cumidavensium was stationed here; the soldiers were recruited from among the local population. An inscription dedicated to Iulia Mamaea was found, as well as graffiti, coins, and a quantity of Dacian ceramics.
