Glad to read that there's no solid evidence for tattoos among legionaries, certainly in Republican and early Principate times. That was my opinion, and I've confirmed that by going to Goldsworthy's The Complete Roman Army. What had confused me were the references to them in the (otherwise quite good) book Invisible Romans, by Robert Knapp. Trouble is, I am now going to view most of what he writes with great suspicion.
