FOOTNOTES:
[414] For the feelings of legionaries and Praetorians towards one another cf. Tac. Hist. ii. 21 ‘illi ut segnem et desidem et circo ac theatris corruptum militem, hi peregrinum et externum increpabant’.

[420] Codex Theodosianus vii. 22, Esp. 22. 9, issued in 380: ‘Sciantque veterani liberos suos quos militaribus aptos muneribus insitum robur ostendat, aut offerendos esse militiae aut obnoxios nostrae legis laqueis iam futuros.’
[421] Ammianus served in his youth in the Protectores Domestici, was on the staff of Ursicinus in the Persian War of Constantius, and survived, and has given us a brilliant description of, the siege of Amida in 359.

[427] For traces of a ‘nationalist’ feeling in the Egyptian army at the end of the fourth century see my remarks in Karanóg. (See above, [p. 115].)
[428] Not. Dign. Occ. xiii. 46-63. There are also a few Sarmatae in Gaul.

[430] The practice was started by Marcus, who sent 8,000 Iazyges to different parts of the Empire (5,500 to Britain) during the Marcomannian War. Dio, lxxi. 16.
[431] For the organization of these Dalmatian cavalry in the third century and their subsequent importance see Ritterling in the Festschrift for O. Hirschfeld.
[432] Those missing are the British Legio XX Valeria Victrix, and I Minervia and XXII Primigenia from the Rhine. It is possible, however, that the ‘Primani’ who form part of the British field army (Not. Dign. Occ. vii. 155) represent Legio I Minervia. A ‘primanorum legio’ also appears at the battle of Argentorate. Ammianus, xvi. 12, 49.
[433] Cf. Not. Dign. Occ. vii. 132 and xlii. 26 with Not. Dign. Or. vii. 41 and Not. Dign. Occ. vii. 103.

[435] Not. Dign. Occ. vii. 144, xxxiv. 37-9.
[436] For Britain see Not. Dign. Occ. xxviii and xl. The occupation of the mile-castles seems to have been interrupted at the end of the third century, probably at the time of the usurpation of Carausius, but further excavation will be necessary to determine the exact bearing of this evidence.
[437] For Cappadocia see Not. Dign. Or. xxxviii and Appendix.
[438] For Egypt see Not. Dign. Or. xxviii and xxxi and my discussion of these sections in Karanóg. (See above, [p. 115].)
[439] For Legg. VIII Augusta and XXX Ulpia Victrix see Not. Dign. Occ. v. 153, vii. 28 and 108. It must be remembered, however, that possibly Legio I Minervia was still in existence (see above, [p. 140]) and that we have not in the Notitia a complete list of the Rhine garrison.
[440] The garrison consists of a cuneus equitum Dalmatarum, a cuneus equitum Constantianorum, and some equites sagittarii. Not. Dign. Occ. xxxiii. 25, 26, and 38.
[441] Twelve of these regiments appear in Not. Dign. Occ. xxxiii (Valeria) and eight in xxxii (Pannonia Secunda).
[442] Not. Dign. Occ. xxxii. 57 and 59. Probably, however, in xxxiii the names of regiments have been omitted after the title tribunus cohortis, which occurs six times at the end of the list, and some of these might have been old formations.
[443] e.g. the Cohors II Galatarum in Palestine and the Cohors I Ulpia Dacorum in Syria. Not. Dign. Or. xxxiv. 44 and xxxiii. 33.
[444] Not. Dign. Occ. xxv (Africa), xxx (Mauretania), and xxxi (Tripolitana).
