In the civil town of Aquincum a Nemesis sanctuary was built to the exit of the amphitheatre towards the gladiator barracks at a later date. The collapsed sanctuary preserved the inventory of the cult, twelve altar stones, fragments of statues and building inscriptions. The earliest date mentions a festivity on August 20, 162, when the sanctuary was consecrated on the birthday of the goddess. Of two further inscriptions one mentions a restoring of the sanctuary on April 24,214, the other on April 24, 259; this feast the goddess shared with Fortuna. On the first occasion the festivities took place in the presence of Emperor Caracalla and the dowager empress, on the second one in that of Emperor Regalianus. K.P. 72
