Sažetak
Among the Roman military diplomas of pre- and early Flavian period there are two of them mentioning five witnesses of Salonitan origin. Until 73/74.c. e. the witnesses personally knew the ex-peregrines who got the diploma, but her is also the question where and when they met them, so among the other questions, this article is trying to give an answer to this one. The witnesses were Romman citizens and one of them was Publius Caetennius Clemens, who is also mentioned on the tombstone from the province of Upper Moesia. From that inscription we know that he was a veteran of the VII. legion CPF and died as 70 year old man. These few information were sufficient in trying to reconstruct his path from the soldier to the witness on diploma. There is an opinion that meeting point was in Salona in the time when the VII. legion CPF was still stationed in Dalmatia. Having this as starting point it is possible that the other witnesses met the sailors who doubtless were coming in Dalmatian harbors with the battleships from Ravenna or Misenum.
