TNMP 258
Veturius (?) Dubitatus was a veteran, ex duplicarius, of ala I civium Romanorum. According to his name formula, J. Brunšmid concluded that he was of Celtic origin, but D. Pinterović argued that he was Italic (Brunšmid 1911: 121, no. 742; Pinterović 1957: 53-54).
According to the available data, the ala I civium Romanorum was probably established during the Pannonian revolt of AD 6-9 or in its aftermath. During Trajan’s Dacian wars, it was temporarily transferred to Dacia and may have taken part in the emperor’s Parthian campaign.
Diplomas and other epigraphic evidence indicate that the ala returned to Pannonia Inferior under Hadrian and was stationed in various fortresses until the 3rd century AD, Teutoburgium being one of the last (Wagner 1938; Lőrincz 1985: 177-189; 2001; Spaul, Cichorius 1994; Roxan 1999: 249-273, pp. 258-259).
