This Roman military diploma was dredged from a river in Croatia in 1997 and dates to 71AD. Such documents were issued to retiring soldiers upon completion of their minimum required service and were highly prized. Amazingly, it still contains the wax seals of those who witnessed the document.

Roman Bronze Legionary Diploma Fragment Ca. 2nd half of 3rd century AD

A bronze legionary diploma fragment with eight lines of partial text, dated to the reign of Emperor Commodus, based on the content. Commodus - son of Marcus Aurelius and Faustina. From 176 he co-ruled with his father; until the latter's death in 180. He participated in the wars with the Marcomanni, but he did not care much for the strengthening of the borders and the development of the provinces. He was succeeded by Pertinax.

TIL that the Third Augustan Legion had a poetry club. And their poems were about what you'd expect...

Killing people? CHECK

Winning glory? CHECK

Getting loot? CHECK

Naked women? CHECK

got a book about a 1940s detective getting portal fantasied, which is objectively better than a normal guy (gender neutral) from the writer's period getting portal fantasied

#i was going to say 'bringing my collection of non-modern portal fantasies to 2' #but actually it's 3: this; the high crusade (13th century english people get kidnapped by aliens #and it's really good); #and the lost legion (roman legion gets portal fantasied. less interesting than i'd hoped.)

so we all agree that kirkwall is both horrifying and fascinating and i wish they'd delved more into its bloody history beyond the snippets we get from the codexes of the band of three. like hello?? three seekers of truth - among which a dalish mage - scurrying about the sewers and lower passages of the city, discovering that kirkwall was designed as some sort of magical symbol, has grooves in the sewers allowing the flood of blood downward for blood magic purposes, and last but not least realizing that its circle of magi had a much higher number of failed harrowings & episodes of blood magic hysteria than basically any other circle in existence??? you cant leave me hanging like that. why was the veil so thin there even before tevinter came? why were they weakening it further?? what was tevinter doing with all those disappeared slaves every year and the huge blood magic ritual involving thousands of slaves and the city itself being a magic symbol??? did the band ever find out if the Forbidden Ones are the same Forgotten Ones of dalish lore??? why was xebenkeck called 'forgotten one'??? hello????? what the fuck is up in kirkwall??????

#i think i need another game set in kirkwall but this time done RIGHT #ALSO what's up with the legions tevinter sent to kirkwall that completely vanished??? #i understand that it's likely a reference to the ninth roman legion that disappeared into thin air #since tevinter is modeled after the roman empire etc etc #but i also want to know WHERE THEY WENT #WHERE'D THEY END UP BIOWARE #why is kirkwall so damn dangerous in the first place #p #kirkwall #dragon age #dragon age 2 #tevinter #the band of three #dragon age meta
