Roman Soldier Branding/Tattoo?
#1
I have read conflicting sources stating that all Roman Soldier's were tattooed, while others say not all, but most soldiers were tattooed. Interestingly, I discovered facial tattooing was more common than one might think. (Though the site of Roman Soldiers wearing facial tattoos just seems a little "barbaric" to me)

Where and what, exactly did Roman Soldiers have tattooed on to themselves, is it too obvious to assume that they would be branded "SPQR"?
