Copies of imperial edicts on privileges of veterans and soldiers TM 30051unbekannt2. Hälfte III

Fragmentary copy of Roman imperial edicts, at least one issued by Septimius Severus (titled Pertinax Arabicus Adiabenicus), concerning privileges of soldiers and veterans: tax exemption, citizenship, the right of marriage for them and their wives. It was copied in Egypt in the second half of the 3rd century AD, noting that an edict was posted in Rome.

The phrase 'among other things' marks these as excerpts from longer edicts. The Greek epigamia (here spelled oddly) refers to the legal right to contract a valid marriage, conubium.
