Celeian soldiers attested across the Empire
Abstract
The article discusses Celeian soldiers attested elsewhere in the Roman Empire, who had spent the greater part of their lives in one of many Roman military units. The catalogue consists of Latin inscriptions mentioning such individuals, supplementing the analysis of military inscriptions from Celeia (Visočnik 2008). These soldiers did not return home for, after the completion of their service, they had either settled near the place where their military unit was stationed, or else sudden death had prematurely ended their military career. Origo, which is written alongside the name of Celeian soldiers, enables us to find and analyse these Celeians with the help of the existing epigraphic databases (Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Rome and LUPA). The catalogue of inscriptions, which were discovered practically throughout the Roman Empire, is followed by a detailed analysis of the names, units, and functions appearing on the assembled inscriptions.
Keywords: antiquity, epigraphy, Noricum, Celeia, Roman army, epigraphic databases
