Quote:What did you think of my suggestion that he might have retired to the colonia after AD49?Yes, it's possible. Julius Paternus (CIL III 2035, Salona) probably retired to the colony at Salona rather than going home, and his tombstone describes him as centurio (rather than ex centurione, or whatever). However, there is always the possibility that he died while serving in some capacity at Salona. In cases like these, there will always be an element of doubt.
