Classis Praetoria Ravennatium with special reflection on sailors that origin from Dalmatia and Pannonia

This paper deals with Dalmatians and Pannonians on service in the Classis Praetoria Ravennatium. According to epigraphical and literary data, inhabitants of the Roman province of Dalmatia were in the absolute majority in relations to the other nationalities in the Italian praetorian fleets (especially in the Classis Praetoria Ravennatium). On the other hand, the inhabitants of the province of Pannonia were somewhere in the middle. Service in the Italian fleets was one of the means of acquiring the Roman citizenship. Dalmatians and Pannonians are found among all officers ranks, but the greatest number of them was nevertheless serving as common naval soldiers.
