Abstract

The sole historical sources which speak of the singulares
serving the governor of the Roman province
of Dalmatia are eleven funerary inscriptions from Salona.
In this work, the author accords attention to each
inscription individually, and attempts to ascertain
the military units to which the singulares belonged,
whether there were specific regularities in their selection
for this service, whether they were experienced
soldiers, how many served in the staff, where they
came from and which other persons are mentioned in
their inscriptions.
