I'd like to be the equivalent of a Sergeant Major...maybe Centurion...in Leg XIIII Gemina...
If that's OK...

Hi Tom,
Officially, fixed ranks are only possible as of Primus Pilus, but I might be willing to bend the rules. :wink:

No biggie, Jasper. You've known me long enough...five, sixe years?...to know that rank and all that doesn't mean much to me in a forum like this. When the time comes, I'll bring it up again.
Or not. :wink:

All true Tom, but in your case, if we counted Marius(1), Casca & your current account together, your post count would surely be enough.

Good point, mate. There'd be like...10,000 posts.

Jasper,
Rather than a rank, could I have the words on the memorial of the real Caballo- " Batavi Filio M. Ulpius Senecio"?
"Reference: CIL 03, 04890 (p 1813) = ILLPRON 00401
Province: Noricum Find Site: Rosendorf / Virunum
Caballo / Batavi f(ilio) / M(arcus) Ulpius / Senecio / fratri
This soldiers (partial) inscription was found in Austria near to the border of Hungary. It states that Caballo was a Batavian, son of Marcus Ulpius Senecio it mentions brothers too. His father was probably made a Roman citizen during the reign of Trajan, hence the Marcus Ulpius."
Your guess is almost certainly better than mine in guessing the rest of the stone!
Cheers,
Caballo

I'd say that 1 is way more likely than the unusual 2. Be happy to change that for you Paul, but do you really want your title to be an epitaph?
