This is correct, we have direct archeological evidence of this because we have uncovered kurgans (Scythian burial mounds) Some of these are in permafrost and hold insanely well preserved artifacts including mummified human bodies. These Scythian bodies are so well preserved they still have the skin on, and the tattoos are plainly visible. It's fascinating stuff, it's why I had these exact tattoos copied directly from the mummies and tattooed on my arms; being a big history buff myself, and having ancestry in ancient Scythia.

I think much of that would depend on the household the slave belonged to (or the company that owned them), or the county which they resided. Some companies were known to be quite brutal to slaves of any origin, while some households used silk bands to mark house or pleasure slaves. And some owners were known to be quite kind (for Roman slave owners) to their slaves, so much so that laws had to be passed to stop so many being freed after the masters passing.

I have been using almost 700 pages of material from actual correspondence between Pontius Pilate and the emperor's of that era. So much of it is so personal and your information brings the human exploration by science and data of the Romans of that era as the added flavour to enhance my book that I have named, " Pilatus " . It will bring so much added flavor of what growing up Roman was like. You have now become one of my favorite sources of great reference sources. Thank You. One of these days, I would love to hear what you have found out about Pontius Pilate in regards to his beheading along with his two children and wife, for becoming Christian, due to the healing of his two children's disabilities by an Apostle, who was most likely Paul.

Fascinating! I didn't really know too much about tattoos in Ancient Rome, other than the bit with the slaves...By the way, just have to say that (as someone who's studied Latin) I LOVE listening to you speaking Latin!

Interestingly(in the english speaking world at least) if you go back to even my parents generation prior to the 1990's. Only 3 groups of people really had tattoo's, Criminals, members of the military and rockstars. it is only in the modern day that they have started to become more commonly accepted. I do wonder if that tradition comes from the romans to a certain degree.

I don't think what Legio a soldier is a part of would be a part of the tattoo. Rank? Yeah, more dots = higher rank. But a soldiers Legion isn't a permanent thing. That soldier could very well be transferred to other Legions, or merger, etc. A permenent mark for the Legion wouldn't be ideal.

Nice to remind the steps in soldiers identification: when enrolled the recruits would receive the "signaculum" a real dog tag made by lead, to be kept around the neck. During the probation period ("probatio") this was the only identification sign. Only at the end of probatio and after the swear of allegiance they got also the tattoo.

6:48 I thought about that, like Roman legionaries having tattoos showing numbers like XXI or XV, or even the whole Legion's nickname (Rapax/Apollinaris) in their arms, but I think that would be more informal than anything, if the Roman army would have marked their men with the legion's number/name, what happens when you reassign that troops to another legion? They were tattooed again? It wouldn't be useful, a lot of soldiers went through different legions around their lives and It would be weird and notable if some guy named Titus had his whole arm with a list of Roman numbers, I guess some historian would've mention that. Same if they retired or something, they could've been mistaken with desertors and be stopped by the authorities every few meters.

This is the specific evidence that he is implicitly calling upon to say they would think tattoos were barbaric. I was kind of surprised that Metatron didn’t explicitly cite this briefly.

Two problems I had with “Gladiator” was branding iron and Maximus killed Commodus with a dagger. I read Commodus was strangled to death by a choke hold and the guy was a wrestler. Commodus was fond of going down into arena for sword fights which he won since he was an excellent swordsman. Apparently not so hot at hand to hand combat. Achilles almost lost to Meriope?, Amazon Hippolyte (Queen). Not described as a fight in the Iliad but grave mentioned as only the gods knew where it was... so very private burial since Amazons quit the war. I suspected they were like Viking kings who actually ran around in small packs like Beowulf. Read it & thought the Norse were idiots. (I mean really, so Beowulf only caught and killed Grendel because he didn’t drink that night. Saw Grendel come up out of floor. Mystery of how Grendel got past the guards outside the MeadHall solved. Still going with idiots, drunk idiots, and Hippolyte is only leader of a warrior band)
