Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations at Alchester in Oxfordshire in 2003 yielded the remains of a Roman inscription, smashed into fragments and reused in the foundations of the town wall. It proved to be a tombstone of a veteran of the Second Augustan Legion and it is argued that Alchester was probably the main base of this legion. The emphasis of the paper is on the home community of the veteran, Forum Germanorum in north-west Italy, for which the inscription provides the earliest testimony, as well as on the ex-soldier's career. The precise dating of the monument suggests that the deceased was the earliest known legionary veteran to settle in Britain. | ||||
