Accepta pariatoria et primipilat

Nouvelles hypothèses sur un monument inscrit de Nouae

Abstract

A recently discovered inscription, engraved on one side of a stone monument from Nouae (Svištov, Bulgaria), associates the date 13th August, A.D. 241, with the hitherto unknown formula accepta pariatoria. The formula could attest to the reception of a discharge by a primus pilus of the legio I Italica. This document would testify to the balancing of accounts, that the primus pilus had been able to obtain in his military supply activities, implying his personal property.
