The epigraphic testimonies left in Rome by the horsemen of the Imperial Guard (equites singulares Augusti) originating from Dacia allow us to question about the socio-cultural origin of these provincials and to make use of the data furnished by this epigraphic dossier (recruitment and career, networks of sociability, onomastics), before inspecting the typology of their funerary iconography.

Les salines en Dacie romaine : remarques sur le personnel administratif
The author put into discussion the inscriptions which mention the administrative staff of the salt exploitation in Roman Dacia.

Occupations of Private Slaves in Roman Dacia
This paper focuses on the inscriptions from Dacia, which mention, by various terms, the occupations of private slaves. The epigraphic texts of Dacia mention slaves used by their masters for various administrative, financial or domestic duties, like actores, villici, dispensatores, vikarii and others.

All these functions demonstrate that the servi privati were involved in public services as representatives of their masters.

Like in case of imperial gentilicia, the onomastic study of Italic gentilicia does not allow an comparative approach (the proportion between the native population and the immigrants).
