117-138 AD. A bronze rectangular diploma fragment of Hadrianic period with, on the extrinsec, five lines of partial text, pierced through the upper edge, and six lines of partial text on the int: the five lines reading '[PA]RTHICI F[ILIVS] DIVI NE [RVAE NEPOS TRAIANVS HADRIANVS/ AVG PONTIF MA[X] / TR[IBUNICIA] P[OTE]ST[ATE]/[IIS QUI MILITAVERUNT IN] ALA VNA ET/[QU]A[E...M]; and the other side reading 'ELL / TVA / R V P / F/AE/ET M RAFIE/ET SALONIO'. See Balbo, M., ‘Diploma militare di Adriano’ in Pantò, G., Carlo Alberto archeologo in Sardegna, Torino, 2016, pp.153-156; Opreanu, C.H., ‘A new military diploma recently found at Parolissum (Dacia Porolissensis)’ in Ephemeris Napocensis, February 2021, pp.295-308. 25 grams, 54mm wide (2"). North American collection, 1990s-2000s. Property of a Surrey gentleman. The expression 'PARTHICI FILI' refers to the Emperor Hadrian, adopted son and successor of Trajan, (who also bore the name Pathic in reference to his successful campaign against Parthia) and allows a partial reconstruction of the external part extrinsec. The diploma is giving 'HONESTA MISSIO' (honourable discharge) and Roman citizen to the veterans of a cavalry unit (Ala) and probably of another unit (cohors). The text of the internal side or int should report the names of the soldiers and witnesses.
