Thanks Susanne!

About the tattoo`s... Are there any evidence of the tattoo`s in roman army or roman society in general? If I remember right some late roman historian wrote about some kind of markings on the context of roman soldiers. Unfortunately I don`t remember the source...

Am I right!?

This topic came up on the old RAT board after Gladiator came out. Someone mentioned a tattoo of SPQR across the back of the hand. This was several years ago now, and the source of the information is lost to me.
