Legionaries from the Rhine Provinces in Dalmatia

Abstract

Few inscriptions of legionaries whose units were located in Upper and Lower Germania were found in Dalmatia. Several soldiers and veterans in the period between the middle of the 1st century and the end of the Principate served in Legio VIII Augusta, which was active in construction in the legionary camp of Burnum. From Legio XXII Primigenia and Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix one veteran was confirmed each, and from Legio I Minervia there was a centurion who served as praepositus of Cohors I Belgarum. This paper will try to shed light on the particulars of the presence of these soldiers and veterans in Dalmatia, that is, the way in which the province was associated with the legions in the Rhine provinces.
