A new Roman military diploma is published, which is most probably the fifth survived copy of the so called “parents, sisters, brothers …” constitution of 5 April 121. It was a special grant of Hadrian to the soldiers of a single unit, the ala I Ulpia contariorum milliaria c. R., belonging temporarily to the army of Dacia Superior c. 121, and their close relatives (parents, sisters, brothers), as reward for bravery in 117–119 war against the Sarmatian Roxolani and Iazyges.
