Were tattoos common in the roman army? If tattooed were they from contact with the barbaric tribes they encountered? Forgot to mention that I read the thread in regards to tattoo / brand on RAT. I guess what I'm asking is are there any records of roman officers or legionaries who had tattoos for the legion in which they belonged? Like the military units we have today. Loyalty.
