On the Depictions of Roman Soldiers on Funerary Monuments in Moesia Inferior

Abstract

One of the few examples of Roman gravestones bearing a depiction of the deceased as a soldier was known to have been found in Tomis and kept in the collection of the National Museum of Antiquities in Bucharest. Considered lost at one point in time, the monument was traced to the National Military Museum and it is presented here together with other two gravestones from Moesia Inferior, originating in Histria and Oescus
