[455] The inscriptions come from Birrens, which was apparently occupied in the Antonine period. See Professor Haverfield’s note in Ephemeris Epigraphica, ix. p. 613.
[456] Assuming that this is the title represented by the III P … of the ‘diploma’.
[457] The name of the cohort on this inscription is, however, only due to an emendation of Cichorius, s.v.
[458] Presumably C(ivium) L(atinorum), a unique distinction.

[460] Both this and the preceding cohort belong, of course, to early series.
[461] Regiments which are last mentioned in the diploma of 116 are included if they cannot be traced in another province.
[462] The regiment is hardly likely to have been raised between 167 and 191.
[463] It can hardly be doubted, however, that several more of the Numeri Brittonum mentioned on later inscriptions belong to the same series. See above, [p. 86].
[464] In this diploma, of course, the ala has not yet acquired the title ‘Flavia’. The titles of the Raetian alae are somewhat puzzling, but it seems possible to distinguish four alae Flaviae.
