Text

Military unit description.

Classifies military unit references by counting cohort (cohors, coh.) and century (centuria, cen.) tokens. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Cohort mentions

Count of cohort-type tokens.

Century mentions

Count of century-type tokens.

Classification

Dominant rank token category.

• Military ranks, units, service terms, and numerals changed across periods and provinces. Abbreviations and homonyms require context, and a detected token should not be treated as a complete career reconstruction.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Retain the photograph, squeeze or scan, diplomatic transcription, provenance, dimensions, uncertainty marks, and corpus identifiers with the result. Confirm ambiguous cases against the relevant corpus, Leiden conventions, parallel inscriptions, and specialist judgment.

• Missio Honesta Discharge Type Term Classifier

  Classifies Roman military discharge wording into honesta, causaria or ignominiosa missio by the earliest matching term.

• Sigla Abbreviation Stop Mark Position Checker (mid-dot)

  Check middle-dot (interpunct U+00B7) stop marks in name tokens of an inscription, counting their occurrences and flagging any token with a leading or trailing dot as malformed sigla punctuation.

• Unit Veteran Dedication Beneficiarii Term Detector

  Detects and counts beneficiarii rank terms marking soldiers seconded to staff duties.
