Birth Certificate of an Illegitimate Boy
Description
End of the birth certificate of Numissius, the illegitimate boy of a soldier in the Roman army (who, as such, was not allowed to marry); the father's declaration was probably confirmed by the signatures of seven witnesses, now lost. The father might have belonged to the cohors II Ituraeorum, an auxiliary unit stationed in Pselkis at the time
