A LEGIO II ADIVTRIX centurióinak karrierjei

Abstract

This paper will compare the epigraphic evidence of the centurions from the pannonian legio II adiutrix with those of the centurions of the legio VI victrix from Britain. The research will consider the seemingly similar amounts of epigraphic evidence from both legions, with particular consideration to the approximately equal time spent by both legions in their own garrisons, in Aquincum and in Eburacum, as well as the geographical factors. Whilst there has been much research into the legio II adiutrix, little has been documented with regard to the centurions’ careers. This paper will summarise the military history of both legions and emphasize the differences between them, specifically the promotions and transfers of the centurions that occurred within their careers.
