Some comments on the tribal affiliation of the Thracian veterans

Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with the contribution made by studies of Thracian veterans to the problem of tribal affiliation as reflected in their nomenclature. The topics discussed include: 1) the problem of tribal affiliations, and that not all veterans are given one, 2) the use of old Roman tribes such as Quirina, for instance, at a time when they did not exist any more, and 3) the problem of the ‘pseudo-tribe’. The latter is examined using examples that provide various exceptions to the rule that are discussed by G. Forni, and this reveals also some of the ways of how these pseudo-tribes were chosen by the veterans themselves.
