Quote:I'm aware that the signum discs have been suggested as the century designator, but if we look at the inscription on the grave stele of Pintaius, it states;
"Pintaius, son of Pedilicus, from the castellum Intercatia in Asturia across the mountain, signifer of the Cohors V Asturum. It does not mention the century.
But that doesn't mean anything. None of the legionary signiferi mention either a cohort or a century on their inscriptions either.
