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.

521 See p. 61, n. 3.

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.
