    Gaius Longinius Speratus served in the Legio XXII Primigenia, which was stationed in Mogontiacum (Mainz), and settled as a veteran near what is now Großbottwar. He manufactured bricks on the site of his villa rustica, which he sold in a sales area of around 10 × 20 kilometers. Bricks with Speratus' stamp "GLSP" were found in Weinsberg and Walheim, for example.
    He and his wife, Iunia Deva, had four children. The names of the family members come from the dedicatory inscription of a sanctuary for Apollo and Sirona, which Longinius Speratus and his family had built on their own property in 201 AD. [1] The 142 cm wide, 82 cm high and 16 cm thick sandstone slab was found in Großbottwar in 1710. It was initially in Stuttgart since 1757 at the latest. [2] It is now in the lapidarium of the Württemberg State Museum. [3] It contains the following inscription:
    “In h (onorem) d (omus) d (ivinae) Apo [ll] ini et Sironae
    aedem cum signis C (aius) Longinius
    Speratus vet (eranus) leg (ionis) XXII Pr (imigeniae) p (iae) f (idelis)
    et Iunia Deva coniunx et Longin (i) Pacatus Martinula Hilaritas Speratianus fili (i) insuo posuerunt v (otum) s (olverunt) l (ibentes) l (aeti) m (erito) Muciano et Fabiano co (n) s (ulibus) "
    (Latin inscription on the sandstone slab, in German: "In honor of the imperial family. Gaius Longinius Speratus, veteran of Legio XXII Primigenia Pia Fidelis, his wife Iunia Deva and their children, Longinii Pacatus, Martinula, Hilaritas and Speratianus , erected a temple with statues on their own property and fulfilled their vows gladly and joyfully according to their due, under the consuls Mucianus and Fabianus ") [2]
