Oescus era un'antica città della Moesia, a nord-ovest della moderna città bulgara di Pleven, vicino al villaggio di Gigen.

Il toponimo è dacico-mesico; Claudio Tolomeo la definisce una città triballiana, ma in seguito fu romanizzata, raggiungendo lo status di colonia sotto Traiano, con il nome di Colonia Ulpia Oescus,[2] con veterani della legio I Italica[3] e V Macedonica.[4]

In questa città, localizzata sul basso Danubio ebbe il suo campo la Legio V Macedonica da Augusto a Traiano.[1]
