Abstract

CIL XIII 7290: a victimarius legionis XXII from Mainz-Kastel?
In his 1520 published work Collectanea antiquitatum, J. Huttich, a humanist from Hesse in the early 16^th century, described numerous Roman monuments from Mainz and its vicinity which are unfortunately lost today. One of these monuments, the tombstone CIL XIII 7290 from Mainz-Kastel, has been copied very differently and in some cases incorrectly over the course of time. Of particular interest are the different proposed solutions that refer to the military rank / function of the dedicant, whereby not only the critical examination of the history of its transmission, but also the available sources allow the possibility to identify him as a victimarius legionis XXII or victimarius legati legionis XXII.
