Sažetak
The inscriptions left by soldiers who served in Siscia and by veterans who settled there, as well as the inscriptions commissioned by the soldiers who served elsewhere but originated from that city may not be exceptionally numerous, especially considering the size and importance of that large Pannonian town, but this epigraphic record is nevertheless far from insignificant. While literary sources and archaeological finds certainly give an insight into the military history of Siscia, there are still many gaps left, some of which can be filled thanks to epigraphy. In recent years, several publications have dealt in more or less detail with the presence of the Roman army in Siscia (Radman-Livaja 2004, Radman-Livaja 2010, cf. the bibliographical references). Understandably, epigraphic finds have been discussed in those overviews, but the focus was not on the epigraphic record which, in our opinion, deserves a more thorough presentation. This paper might therefore be considered as a preliminary step before the publication of a comprehensive catalogue of inscriptions.
