Poreklo pripadnika sanitetske službe rimske vojske u svetlu epigrafskih izvora
Origin of members of medical staff of the Roman army in light of epigraphic evidence
Abstract
O dobro organizovanoj i razgranatoj sanitetskoj službi rimske vojske svedoče brojni izvori, među kojima značajno mesto zauzimaju epigrafski spomenici. Oni, između ostalog, otkrivaju šaroliko poreklo lekara i drugih pripadnika ovog armijskog ogranka. Na natpisima nalazimo ljude iz Italije i provincija, kao i pripadnike različitih naroda (Kilikijac, Egipćanin, Gal). Epigrafski spomenici ukazuju i da su lekari ponekad regrutovani u naseljima kraj vojnih logora u kojima su bile stacionirane njihove jedinice.
Roman army had a very well organised medical staff. Epigraphic evidence testifies to its hierarchy, duties and status of doctors (medici) and other members (e.g.
optiones valetudinarii, capsarii). Inscriptions from Italy and varioius provinces of the
Roman Empire also provide valuable information on the origin of medici and other
immunes. Members of medical staff were recruited in Italy (Ostia, Praeneste, Beneventum, Ferentium and Aquileia are recorded as their homes), as well as in the eastern
and western provinces (Samosata in Syria, Thamugadi in Numidia, Drobeta in Dacia).
Epigraphic evidence indicates that doctors were recruited in settlements which developped near the fortresses of their regiments. Tiberius Martius Castrensis from the
legion II Adiutrix was probably drafted in the canabae of Aquincum. Titus Aelius
Martialis, doctor of the cohort II Aurelia Dardanorum, was born in the vicus near the
fort of Timacum Minus, and Claudianus (his nomen is radically abbreviated a...s M),
who probably served in the legion III Augusta, in the canabae at Lambaesis. Some
inscriptions record the ethnic origin of doctors and other members of medical staff.
Two medici of the maritime fleets, based in Misenum and Ravenna, were drafted
among Cilicians and Aegyptians (natione Cilix, natione Aegyptius). The ethnic origin
of two medical officers is revealed by their names. Both the nomen and cognomen of
Bononius Gordus, doctor of the cohort XIII urbana in Lugdunum, are Celtic. Septimius Bauleus, who served as capsarius in the cohort I milliaria nova Severiana Surorum sagittaria equitata in Ulicisia Castra in Pannonia Inferior, was of Semitic
origin. This is implied by his cognomen Bauleus, which is paralleled by Semitic names
Βαύλλιος, Βαῦλλος, and Βαυλανης.
