Arcobara [7] (previously identified as Arcobadara [8] [9] [10]) was a fort in the Roman province of Dacia in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.[4] It was unearthed in the village Ilişua (commune Uriu, Romania) in 1978.[4] The fort was garrisoned by Ala I Tungrorum Frontoniana.[11] On the site 27 stone ballista projectiles were discovered of diameters between 7 and 13.5 cm and weighing up to 2 kg[12] indicating the presence of ballistarii.[12]
