Remarks

1. ^ The soldiers, who were granted Roman citizenship through the diplomas , had been dismissed from military service by Nepos before the end of his term of office ( dimissis honesta missione a Metilio Nepote ). At the time the certificates were drawn up, however, Titus Avidius Quietus had already taken over the office as his successor ( in Britannia sub Tito Avidio Quieto ).
