caldrail Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hello!I'm looking for something else aswell: I heard that the roman soldiers on the frontier were not allowed to marry local women. Is it true. Is there any document to testify this? 10x It's true, they were forbidden. During the empire however it was common practice for legions to be stationed in one place for extended periods and unofficially these relationships went on. Septimius Severus decided to make these unions acceptable since by that time hardly anyone took any notice anyway, and since the male offspring of soldiers were considered as suitable recruits, there was a beneficial side to allowing it.
