Gaius Vindilicius Fontanus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaius Vindilicius Fontanus (full name form Gaius Vindilicius Gai filius Publilia Fontanus ) was a member of the Roman knighthood ( Eques ) living in the 2nd century AD . His name is spelled incorrectly on the inside of panel 2 of the military diploma as Gaius Vindilius Fontanus .

A military diploma dated July 19, 114, proves that Fontanus 114 was commander of the Cohors IIII Gallorum , which was stationed in the province of Thracia at that time . Fontanus was registered in the Tribus Publilia and may have come from Verona .
