Abstract
This article studies the legionary veterans in Roman Britain. The different aspects of this group are examined from the analysis of the epigraphic documentation, stressing the retirement places, the geographical origin and the insertion in provincial life of these old soldiers. Although data are very scarce, there is every indication that the veterans who retired in Britannia followed the same behaviour patterns as the rest of their colleagues in other provinces of the Empire.
