Remarks

  1. ↑ The soldiers, who were granted Roman citizenship through the diplomas , had been dismissed from military service by Fronto before the end of his term of office ( dimissis honesta missione emeritis stipendiis from Octavio Frontone ). At the time the documents were drawn up, his successor had already taken over the office from him ( in Moesia inferiore sub Quinto Pomponio Rufo ).
