The presented paper is based on already published inscriptions mentioning roman soldiers, their func-
tions and units in which they served. This type of research problem was chosen during the review of
current state of research and literature about the Roman army in today’s Slovenia. In addition to oth-
er (non-military) inscriptions, the majority of them are stored in lapidaries of the National museum of
Slovenia in Ljubljana and in regional museums of Celje and Ptuj-Ormož. The remaining part of the in-
scriptions is distributed among the Dolenjska museum in Novo mesto, Bela krajina museum in Metli-
ka and in the lapidary of the Carinthian regional museum in Slovenj Gradec. Some inscriptions are also
inbuilt in churches, castles, mills and houses.
Inscriptions with its content supplement the archeological findings of the discussed period and contrib-
ute to a better and more comprehensive picture of roman military presence and functioning in the re-
gion of today’s Slovenia. Roman military inscriptions are collected in a catalog and accurately analyzed
according to military functions and units mentioned on inscriptions. Its aim is to explain the presence
and the structure of the roman army in present-day Slovenia between the foundation of Aquileia and
the invasion of the Marcomanni and the Quadi. All Inscriptions after this period are therefore listed in
tabular form only.
