Roman military gear from Salona

The largest and most important city in the Roman province of Dalmatia was Salona. As the provincial economic and administrative hub from the Early Roman period until the Byzantine era, the city of Salona was primarily a civilian settlement, but the military presence has been recorded in numerous inscriptions commissioned by veterans and soldiers, legionary and auxiliary troops stationed in the province, or soldiers who were assigned to the staff of the consul. Besides the data derived from written sources and numerous epigraphic inscriptions, the military presence in Salona is also demonstrated by in the finds of military gear, which is generally held in the Archaeological Museum in Split. Components of gear used by Roman soldiers, riding harnesses and weapons from Salona have been dated from the Early Imperial period to Late Antiquity.
