Text

Military diploma or epitaph text.

Extracts years of military service counts following 'stip(endiorum)' tokens in Roman numerals or digits. 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]

Found

Whether a stipendiorum count was detected.

Years

Parsed service years, zero when not found.

Token

Matched substring, empty when not found.

• 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.
