he Residents of Siscia: a Population Study

The population of Siscia and its territory has been assessed in this article, primarily on the basis of onomastics and the known careers of some of the individuals. Siscia/ Segest(ic)a was an important Pannonian emporium, conquered by Octavian in 35 BC, which became a legionary fortress after the Roman conquest and colonia Flavia under Vespasian, settled with fleet veterans. The publication of 1123 tesserae, recovered from the Kupa River, has significantly modified the onomastic pattern of the residents of the city. The names of the inhabitants documented on stone monuments and curse tablets are discussed in the light of the names from the tesserae. An interim list of their nomina gentilicia and cognomina (including those of the inhabitants of Siscia attested abroad) is appended, based mainly on the evidence collected in the Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss / Slaby.
