PATAVISSA

PATAVISSA (Πατρουίσσα, Ptol. 3.8.7, wrongly), a small town of Dacia, endowed by the emperor Severus with the jus coloniae. (Ulpian, Dig. 1.8. 9, where it is called Patavicensium vicus.) Variously identified with Mar-Ujvar, or with Ptovis or Tovis, on the Marosch; also with Bogatz and St. Kiraly, on a tributary of the same river.
