just following a recent argument with a friend I was seeking some informed... or at least opinionated views of all you lovely fourm people on how good roman military tombstones can be as evidence for soldiering

saller and shaw (1984, JRS vol.74) argue first that there are around 250,000 Latin epitaphs, with tombstones representing nearly 3/4 of the Latin inscription record, with most commemorations coming from the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.

what does the rest of the world think???
