dc.description.abstract | A small number of Latin inscriptions on gravestones of Roman navy soldiers qualify the deceased as
natione Ponticus
. Theodor Mommsen
believed that such designations were part of an empire-wide paern that
reveals feelings of ethnic belonging and disregards Roman administrative geography. Similarly, a recently published theory holds that soldiers chose the way in which they indicated their homes with regard to how they felt about their places of origin, and that therefore such designations conveyed sentiments of identity. Accordingly, individuals describing themselves as natione Ponticus
ought to have felt particularly strong about their ‘Pontic’ identity. However, the paern that emerges from the surviving evidence
suggests that the expression natione Ponticus
rooted in the Roman naval force’s administrative practices. It nevertheless remained ambiguous and lent itself to ‘misunderstandings’. | en |
