Good day,
I would like to pose a question about christian soldiers in the Roman army before Constantine. John Helgeland mentions in his articles (Church history 1974 and ANRW 1979) that inscriptions have been found of christain soldiers that could be dated to the third or even second century. He counts eight inscriptions, but bases this, on material that has been found almost a century ago.
I would like to ask the visitors of this forum if the have found or heard of new inscriptions that can be atributed to christian soldiers before Constantine?
