Ave Civitas,
I am writing a novel whose subject is the Battle of Frigidus.
In the aftermath of a battle of that scale, how did they identify the dead?
I have never heard of Roman Army Dog Tags.
I have read somewhere where the soldiers name was etched onto their helmets.
But really. How did they identify the dead and incapacitated?
Again, thank you in advance,
Tom
