Archaeo-Epigraphic Data Concerning the Community of Legio VII Servicemen in Dalmatia: A Dataset for ‘Fratres Romani in Dalmatia’

Abstract

This dataset consists of data related to the inscribed Roman monuments of the Seventh Legion (Legio VII) and the servicemen they commemorate in the province of Dalmatia (eastern Adriatic coastline and hinterland) from 30 BCE/BC -259 CE/AD, as well as select areas outside the province. The dataset incorporates geographical and textual information found in typical epigraphic datasets alongside less typically captured visual, historical, biographical, archaeological, and bibliographic data from regional scholars. This dataset has the potential to facilitate both in-depth quantitative and qualitative research into Legio VII and its design structure can also be applied onto other Roman material corpora to relationally capture archaeo-epigraphic data. It can also be used as a learning device.
