The rural milieu was an important source of recruitment for the Roman army from the second quarter of the 1st century AD until the reorganisation of the province under the Diocletian. This paper provides a synthesis on the mobility of soldiers recruited from this environment, following three research axes: direction of soldier’s mobility, the cases of the veterans who return home and those of veterans who remained in the province where they performed their service. Another objective of the study is mapping the mobility directions in order to trace the routes taken by the Roman army and to highlight the links between the origin province and the service regions
