Veterinarius
A ''veterinarius'' was a soldier in the Roman army who served as a veterinary surgeon. Their job was to care for the multitude of animals attached to an individual military unit: cavalry horses, beasts of burden, animals used for sacrifice or animals used for food. As a result of the training above-average intelligence required of them, the soldiers who were ''veterinarii'' were given the status class of ''immunes''. They were soldiers who held ''immunitas'' from ordinary duties as they had special tasks of their own to fulfill. As such they are listed within the group of soldiers classified as immunes in Publius Tarruntenus Paternus’ ''De Re Militari''. The title of ''pecuarius'' (or sometimes ''pequarius'') is also associated with the veterinary service, though the exact distinction between the duties of a ''veterinarius'' and a ''pecuarius'' is uncertain. Paternus does not mention the title in his list of ''immunes'' which, unless he is grouping all animal workers together ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Roman Army
The Roman army () served ancient Rome and the Roman people, enduring through the Roman Kingdom (753–509 BC), the Roman Republic (509–27 BC), and the Roman Empire (27 BC–AD 1453), including the Western Roman Empire (collapsed Fall of the Western Roman Empire, AD 476/480) and the Byzantine Empire, Eastern Roman Empire (collapsed Fall of Constantinople, AD 1453). It is thus a term that broadly spans approximately 2,206 years, during which the force underwent numerous permutations in Size of the Roman army, size, Military of ancient Rome, composition, Structural history of the Roman military, organization, Roman military equipment, equipment and Strategy of the Roman military, tactics, while conserving a core of lasting traditions. Early Roman army (c. 550 – c. 300 BC) Until , there was no "national" Roman army, but a series of clan-based war-bands which only coalesced into a united force in periods of serious external threat. Around 550 BC, during the period conventiona ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Veterinary Surgeon
Veterinary surgery is surgery performed on non-human animals by veterinarians, whereby the procedures fall into three broad categories: orthopaedics (bones, joints, muscles), soft tissue surgery (skin, body cavities, cardiovascular system, GI/urogenital/respiratory tracts), and neurosurgery. Advanced surgical procedures such as joint replacement (total hip, knee and elbow replacement), fracture repair, stabilization of cranial cruciate ligament deficiency, oncologic (cancer) surgery, herniated disc treatment, complicated gastrointestinal or urogenital procedures, kidney transplant, skin grafts, complicated wound management, and minimally invasive procedures ( arthroscopy, laparoscopy, thoracoscopy) are performed by veterinary surgeons (as registered in their jurisdiction). Most general practice veterinarians perform routine surgeries such as neuters and minor mass excisions; some also perform additional procedures. The goal of veterinary surgery may be quite different in pets ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Immunes
The ''immunes'' were ancient Roman soldiers who possessed specialized skills. They were exempt from the more tedious and dangerous tasks other soldiers were required to do, such as ditch digging and rampart patrol. Becoming an ''immunis'' Prior to becoming an ''immunis'', men were required to serve as ''miles gregarius'' (also known as ''munifex''), a non-specialist regular soldier. These men were the soldiers that made up the bulk of the legions, liable to perform guard duties, labour work and other less than desired duties. '' Milites'' would usually have to serve for several years before becoming eligible for training to become ''immunes''. ''Immunis'' status within the army was achieved either through selection or through promotion. If not possessing the specialist skills that could see a soldier chosen to become an ''immunis'', the legionary who wished to become one would have to undergo a period of specialist training, during which time they would be known as '' discens''. ...

Legio III Augusta
Legio III Augusta ("Third Augustan Legion") was a legion of the Imperial Roman army The Imperial Roman Army was the military land force of the Roman Empire from 27 BC to 476 AD, and the final incarnation in the long history of the Roman army. This period is sometimes split into the Principate (27 BC – 284 AD) and the Dominate .... Its origin may have been the Roman Republic, Republican 3rd Legion which served the general Pompey during his civil war against Gaius Julius Caesar (49–45 BC).

Lambaesis
Lambaesis (Lambæsis), Lambaisis or Lambaesa (''Lambèse'' in colonial French), is a Roman archaeological site in Algeria, southeast of Batna and west of Timgad, located next to the modern village of Tazoult. The former bishopric is also a Latin Catholic titular bishopric. History Lambaesa was founded by the Roman military. The camp of the third legion ( Legio III ''Augusta''), to which it owes its origin, appears to have been established between AD 123–129, in the time of Roman emperor Hadrian, whose address to his soldiers was found inscribed on a pillar in a second camp to the west of the great camp still extant. However, other evidence suggests it was formed during the Punic Wars. By AD 166 mention is made of the decurions of a ''vicus'', 10 ''curiae'' of which are known by name; and the ''vicus'' became a ''municipium'' probably at the time when it was made the capital of the newly founded province of Numidia. Lambaesis was populated mainly by Romanized Ber ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
