Life companions of Roman soldiers mentioned on the funerary inscriptions from Salona during the time of the Principate (Summary)

Na 136 nadgrobnih natpisa rimskih aktivnih vojnika ili veterana koji se datiraju u doba principata, a potječu iz Salone ili njezina okruženja, spominju se još po jedna ili više osoba. Analiza natpisa pokazala je da ih je najmanje 190, a povezane su s vojnicima i veteranima na različite načine. Najčešće su to njihove žene (coniunx, uxor) s kojima su imali djecu, zatim oslobođenice i oslobođenici koji su imenovani ili navedeni uobičajenom sintagmom (lib. libertaeque), roditelji, krvna braća i tzv. braća po oružju, sestre, hospite, suborci iz postrojbe, prijatelji, robovi, a u pojedinim primjerima punac, šurjak, šurjakinja, prijateljica. Neki su i nasljednici preminulih vojnika i veterana. Rijetki natpisi ne navode u kakvu su odnosu vojnik i druga osoba, ali se to ipak može pretpostaviti. Utvrđuje se tko je koga komemorirao, a analizom imena nastoji se odrediti podrijetlo ovih osoba. Sva tri elementa pomažu da se dokuči društveni status životnih suputnika rimskih vojnika u Saloni.The paper analyzes 136 soldiers’ inscriptions from Salona from the time of the principate, which, in addition to the name of a soldier or veteran, contain the name of one or more persons. At least 190 persons related to soldiers and veterans were mentioned in various contexts. Most often, it is their wives (coniunx, uxor) with whom they had children, then the freedmen and freedwoman named or by the usual syntagm (lib. libertabusque), parents, blood brothers, sisters, brothers in arms, friends, slaves, hospitae... Some of them are also listed as heirs of deceased soldiers and veterans. Only few inscriptions don’t indicate the character of the relationship between a soldier and a person, but it can still be assumed. An attempt was made to determine who commemorated whom, and the analysis of the names should make it possible to determine the origin of these persons and their social status
