FOOTNOTES:
[507] Seems to be identical with the regiment mentioned in Tac. Hist. iii. 41, and was therefore in existence before the Flavian period.
[508] It does not seem possible to make any distinction, chronological or otherwise, between the titles Britannica, Britannorum, and Brittonum.
[509] Not recognized by Cichorius, but see above, [p. 158], n. 1. The meaning of the title is obscure, but such an elaborate form is not likely to be early.
[510] On the reason for distinguishing between these two regiments see above, [p. 162], n. 2.
[511] See above, [p. 60], n. 2.
[512] Apparently a late creation, possibly raised by Severus Antoninus. Cf. xiii. 7616, and Cichorius s.v.
[513] Was in existence before the Flavian period. Cf. Tac. Hist. i. 59.
[514] Assuming, as seems most probable, that this regiment was raised, like the others, at an early date and only acquired the title Flavia as an honorary distinction.
[515] As four Gallic cohorts bear the number II, we may add two others bearing the number I in addition to the two known to us, and also another Cohors III to correspond with the third Cohors IV. The total number of Gallic cohorts raised, including the Cohortes Gallicae, must have been twenty-four.
[516] Seems to be identical with the Cohors Ligurum E. which appears in Sardinia and afterwards formed part of the amalgamated Cohors I Ligurum et Hispanorum in Germania Superior.
[517] Developed out of a vexillatio equitum Illyricorum. Cf. p. 157.
[518] Cichorius identifies this with the last ala Pannoniorum, supposing the title Flavia to have been added as an honorary distinction. But iii. 3252, which is clearly of second-century date, mentions an ala Pannoniorum without any additional title.
[519] Developed out of a numerus Sarmatarum organized from the Sarmatae deported to Britain by Marcus. Cf. vii. 218 and 229.
[520] Not included by Cichorius, but now known from A. E. 1905. 162.
[522] See above, [p. 157], n. 3.
[523] This inscription is certainly interpolated, but Cichorius believes in the authenticity of this title.
[524] See A. E. 1903. 288. Not mentioned by Cichorius.
[525] Not mentioned by Cichorius and only known from iii. 15184.
[526] Another Ala II Thracum may be assumed to have been sometime in existence, as two regiments bear the number III.
[527] The only certain mention with full title is in A. E. 1911. 161. For the ascription of this and the following cohort to the garrison of Syria see above, [p. 162], n. 3.
[528] Not included by Cichorius and only mentioned on the Macedonian diploma for 124, A. E. 1909. 105.
[529] Not included by Cichorius and only known from this inscription.
[530] Not included by Cichorius and only known from one inscription, A. E. 1900. 48. The Syrian Cyrrhestis might, of course, be meant, and the soldier’s birthplace, Beroea, is equally ambiguous, but the fact that the regiment was in Dalmatia suggests a Macedonian origin.
[531] For this regiment see above, [p. 61], n. 7.
[532] Only mentioned in Not. Dign. Or. xxviii. 35, without the title Ulpia, but presumably belongs to the same series as cohorts I and II.
[533] Not included by Cichorius and only known from A. E. 1905. 54.
[534] One of these may be the Cohors Cypria mentioned in A. E. 1904. 163, and on an inscription from the Crimea, Latyschew ii. 293.
[535] See above, [p. 62], n. 6.
[536] One of these two regiments is probably referred to in Arrian, Ectaxis, 1.
[537] Not included by Cichorius. Cf. viii. 21814 a, A. E. 1906. 19.
[538] Inscriptions of the first of these cohorts (xiii. 7512, 7513) show that it was recruited in the East, as probably all were.
[539] If the emendation suggested above, on [p. 69], n. 3, be correct, we should also include a Cohors Seleuciensium.
[540] Arrian, Ectaxis, 18, mentions an Ituraean cohort which may be identical with one of these.
[541] This, at least, seems the most likely province for it to have been raised in. This regiment, not included by Cichorius, is only mentioned in the Syrian diploma for 157.
[542] It is not mentioned as miliaria, but is conjectured to have been so on the analogy of cohorts II and III.
[543] The title Ulpia is not given in these two cases, but the regiments obviously belonged to the same series and were probably also equitatae.
[544] Probably identical with the ‘Cohors Afrorum in Dacia’ mentioned in vi. 3529.
[545] Not included by Cichorius, and only mentioned in A. E. 1909. 104, an inscription dating from the end of the second century.
[546] There is no reason why these regiments should not have been raised between 40 and 70, but they do not appear on inscriptions until much later.
[547] Some of the cohorts and alae of Hispani may, of course, have been raised in Baetica.
[548] On some difficult points connected with this regiment see Cagnat, L’armée romaine d’Afrique, p. 258 (2nd edition).
[549] From the existence of three cohorts bearing the number III, we may assume two more with the number I, and two with the number II, of which as yet no evidence exists.
[550] This regiment is, however, possibly identical with the preceding.
[551] Not included by Cichorius, and only mentioned on a Greek inscription, which is probably of second-century date, I. G. R. R. iii. 56.
[552] Probably identical with the Cohors I C. R., which appears in Germania Superior. The Cohors II C. R. which formed part of the garrison of the same province according to ix. 2958 probably also belongs to this series.
[553] xiii. 6306 may refer to Cohors XXV, but it is probable that the final stroke is omitted, and that Cohors XXVI was meant.
[554] On this regiment see above, [p. 65], n. 6.
[555] Possibly identical with the Ala Augusta Moesica.
[556] Possibly identical with the Ala Augusta Syriaca.
[557] See J. R. S. ii. (1912), p. 99.
[558] This regiment has no early inscriptions, and is probably identical with one of the other British alae, possibly the Ala Petriana, which renounced its original title in favour of this honorific appellation.
[559] Not included by Cichorius. This regiment is probably either a late formation, or possessed also an ethnical title omitted on this inscription.
[560] The title is probably connected in some way with that of the Ala I Hispanorum Auriana which was stationed in Raetia.
[561] Here again, however, an ethnical title may well have been omitted.
[562] Possibly a Gallic regiment on the analogy of the Ala Gallorum Flaviana.
