Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Below the centurionate the titles of optio, to a lesser extent custos and curator, and later magister, were all given to soldiers - normally of principalis rank - holding various junior administrative posts of supervision or command. Optio was the older term and in 3rd century came to be partly superseded by magister, new posts being given that title and some existing posts possibly changed to conform to the new nomenclature. At this time it seems possible that a soldier doing one particular task may have been called optio, magister or even custos, in different units of the Roman army. Au(adp) | ||||
