All the sources categories, epigraphy, literature and archaeology,
together with the contributions of contemporary scientific methods
form a solid foundation for the purpose of this paper: the study of
the military hierarchy in Dacia. The most complex aspect is by far
the hierarchy of soldiers. Epigraphic sources provide a rich source
of data for Dacia but a less documented aspect is that of
promotions and careers. Thus, the understanding of military
hierarchy across the Empire is very valuable. Following the obvious
hypothesis, that one cannot understand the history of Roman Dacia,
unless in the wider context of the Roman Empire, the author
attempts to decrypt the multitude of ranks and functions in the
career of the solider. Thus, the research has moved from general to
particular, starting from literary sources and contemporary
monographic studies and reaching the individual epigraphic sources
and studies concerned with a certain category of officers or a
particular phenomenon found in an inscription. It was necessary to
study each category of Roman units because the connections between
them are very strong, especially as far as it involves soldiers,
personnel and officers as elements of the whole functional entity
in the Mediterranean space. For the purpose of systematization, the
author chose the classification proposed by Domaszewski, more than
100 years ago, dividing the military ranks into several categories:
soldier ranks - immunes and principales, centurions and primipili.
