Abstract:
In IEJ 70, 2020, 90-98 a fragmentary funerary inscription of a Roman soldier was published. The stone cannot be called a stele, but is rather an ashlar that belongs to a larger funerary monument. It can be assumed with a high degree of certainty that the deceased served in legio X Fretensis, into which he was recruited at the age of 18; he died at the age of 28. The V in front of the name of the brother who built the tomb (aedificavit) is either to be understood as an abbreviated gentilic or as an indication that he carried out the construction during his lifetime.
