Legionaries in camps at Hadrian\'s wall
#6
Quote:If you keep in mind that the majority of administrative and technical specialists came from the legions (at least as our evixdence indicates) it is quite likely that some legionaries were up at the wall,.

Quite so,one of the VT's is from a Vittius Adiutor, eagle-bearer of the Second Augustan Legion to his brother,Cassius Saecularis,fits the hypothesis that he might have been a centurion, a decurion or an optio in a unit stationed at Vindolanda as a vexillation from legio vii Augusta in Britain.They also mention several Issues of food and equipment to Legionaires,but no mntion of their parent unit.
Co incedentally Vettius Adiutor might be one of two brothers attested on inscriptions from Pannonia.
