Mauretania Tingitana Garrison!

Ave

The idea to construct this topic came from posted discussions with Jasper about the extent of my analysis of diplomas.

I've chosen Mauretania Tingitana because it's one of the most prolific with regards to the discovery of diplomas.

A = AE 1997, 01766 is a fragment not yet published in RMD.
B = AE 1999, 01313 is a fragment not yet published in RMD
C = AE 1997, 01767 is two fragments not yet published in RMD.

I'll allow the charts to speak for themselves.

I've added some more details about the province. This was done so that the amount of information this topic provides will suffice for a general overview.

This thumbnail description was copied verbatim from "A Companion To Latin Studies" edited by Sir John Edwin Sandys, 1925, Cambridge University Press.

"The district comprising all the NW. of Africa W. of the river Ampsagas. Annexed A.D. 40 and divided into two, viz. Mauretania Tingitana on W., chief city Tingis, and Mauretania Caesarea, separated by the Mulucha, the present boundary between Morocco and Oran. Each was governed by a 'procurator pro legato', save at times when one 'procurator' administered both".

I will add more at a later date.
