Study of a bronze letter found in the vicinity of Tarraco. It was part of the ornaments of a military belt typical of the military clothing of the 2nd-3rd centuries in Danubian limes, with an inscription showing the name of its owner, probably accompanied by the expression utere felix. References to inscriptions from Tarraco referring to eastern soldiers are also included.
