Pripadnici rimskih carskih ratnih mornarica u Saloni

Abstract

( natione Britto ) and Gaius Aelius Censorinus ( natione Pannonico ). The former had at least ten years of military service at the time of his death and the latter 21 years. From the late Principate, three veterans are very likely to have served in Salona because they were buried there. Marcus Dionysius Firmo belonged to the Ravenate Navy, and Lucius Sextilius Rufus and Flavius Zeno served in the Misenate. Zeno’s stela is unusual in content because the noun emeritus was used for his veteran status. He notes that upon his dismissal from the service, he was a mime actor who may have shown his entertaining talent in a Salona theatre. Determining the origin of the other soldiers based on an onomastic analysis gives much more varied results, and it could eventually be reliably established that Zeno originated from the Greek provinces.
