Abstract

The article discusses Celeian soldiers attested elsewhere in the Roman Empire, who had spent the greater part of their lives  in  one  of  many  Roman  military  units.  The  catalogue  consists of Latin inscriptions mentioning such individuals, supplementing  the  analysis  of  military  inscriptions  from  Celeia (Visočnik 2008). These soldiers did not return home for, after the completion of their service, they had either set-tled near the place where their military unit was stationed, or else sudden death had prematurely ended their military career. Origo, which is written alongside the name of Celeian soldiers, enables us to find and analyse these Celeians with the  help  of  the  existing  epigraphic  databases  (Heidelberg,  Frankfurt, Rome and LUPA). The catalogue of inscriptions, which  were  discovered  practically  throughout  the  Roman  Empire, is followed by a detailed analysis of the names, units, and functions appearing on the assembled inscriptions.
