Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
"The first cohort of a legion was not double in size because it contained the adminstrative staff, technicians and specialists. The evidence for it being double in size is given, but lists show that the members of the various officia and other principales and immunes attested on the laterculi were spread throughout all the cohorts. At least in some legions from the middle of the first century until the third decade of the third century the equites were not organized into turmae but were carried on the books of the centuries. The evidence for equites legionis is given and discussed, with a list of attested officers. They occasionally had a fighting role. The one and a half barracks assigned to the equites by Richmond at Inchtuthil seem inadequate for 120 cavalry. B D | ||
