Eine Konstitution für das Heer von Syria Palaestina aus der Mitte der antoninischen Herrschaftszeit mit einem Auxiliarpräfekten Cn. Domitius Corbulo

Abstract

A fragmentary military diploma mentions an auxiliary prefect Cn. Domitius Corbulo as commander of the ala Gallorum et Thracum, which was stationed in Syria Palaestina. The constitution was issued under Antoninus Pius between 151 and before September 154. The prefect bears the same name as a highly famous senator of the Neronian period. It can be assumed that the prefect's father, who was also called Cn. Domitius, deliberately gave his son the cognomen Corbulo to commemorate Corbulo, who had defended Rome's eastern frontier under Nero. The diploma was given to a soldier called Dacus; his father bears the typical Dacian name Decebalus.
