From that specific picture...
Jul. Obs. = Julius Obsequens
PIR[sup]2[/sup] = Prosopographia Imperii Romani 2nd edition, letter H, no. 227.
Suol. = J. Suolahti (1955), The Junior Officers of the Roman Army in the Republican Period, by page number, I think, then by Suolahti's own classification number (i.e. C223)
AE = Anneé Epigraphique, a journal referenced by year and then by inscription number. As Nathan says, Clauss/Slaby is your friend here.
ILG = Inscriptiones Latinae in Graecia, I think. If so, it's damn near obsolete now. L. Aponius is problematic in any case!
Tac. Ann. = Tacitus, Annals
PME: Prosopographia militiarum equestrium quae fuerunt ab Augusto ad Gallienum, by H. Devijver. Only available in big university libraries, but VERY useful to anyone researching equestrian officers.
Vell. = Velleius Paterculus
Front. Strat. = Frontinus, Strategemata (strategems)
You can also search for these people on: http://www.en-clair.net/officers/ (specifically: http://www.en-clair.net/cgi-bin/parse-of...ssort=date) There's a guide to abbreviations somewhere up there as well
