Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Vol 8 Studia epigraphica et militaria

Abstract

Both Celeia and Sirmium were important Roman towns in their respective provinces. Celeia was the southernmost Norican municipium, which seems to have played a significant part in the course of Romanisation, especially in the first period of the annexation to the Roman Empire. Sirmium gains importance as the starting point for emperors to initiate military operations in the East. In 103, upon Trajan’s division of provinces, it even becomes the capital of Pannonia Inferior. Celeia and Sirmium received the status of a Roman town (municipium, colonia) in the first century CE, both developed along important traffic roads, with the influence of autochthonous population on the local society evident in both. Since a large number of beneficiarii from both towns are known, who are attested at a local statio, it seems prudent to compare them and, in this way, add a new finding to the already established knowledge about beneficiarii. Therefore, the paper investigates the beneficiarii and the chronology of the existence of a statio in both towns. As the most important sources for these two stations and the beneficiarii are votive monuments, a comparison of the deities worshipped will illustrate preferences. In addition, data about the beneficiarii’s provenance and their (primary) military unit will be analysed.
