Appendix II

This appendix is mainly designed to supplement the table on p. 60, by giving a list of the auxiliary regiments grouped according to the provinces in which they were raised. I have also added for the sake of completeness a further section dealing with the cohortes civium Romanorum, and a few regiments of which we do not know the place of origin. The list thus contains, or is intended to contain, the names of all the auxiliary regiments known to us, and includes far more than existed at any one time. The greater part of this list is, of course, merely a repetition of that drawn up by Cichorius in his articles on ala and cohors contributed to Pauly-Wissowa, and in view of the admirable summary of the evidence there given I have restricted myself to appending to the title of each regiment the name of the province in which it was stationed, or, when this is unknown, a reference to a single inscription mentioning it. Only in cases where I have been able to add to the list a regiment unknown when Cichorius wrote have I added a note on the evidence. The whole may, in fact, be described as a summary of Cichorius’s articles, with a supplement bringing them up to date, and as such may, I hope, be of some value to students of this subject.

As in the list on p. 60, regiments raised before 70 and those of later date are divided into two groups, distinguished by the letters A and B.

Cohortes Voluntariorum and Other Regiments of Roman Citizens

The character of these regiments has already been discussed on pp. 65-7, where the origin of the greater number, at any rate, was traced to the exceptional levies made during the Pannonian revolt of 6-9, and after the defeat of Varus in the latter year. This levy included not only free-born Roman citizens, ingenui, but also freedmen enrolled in cohortes voluntariorum. The latter form a series numbered up to thirty-two, which may have included the cohortes ingenuorum. The latter may, however, have been numbered separately, and it must be admitted that the presence of a Cohors IV Voluntariorum is rather against the hypothesis, previously advanced, that the first six numbers of the series were reserved for the ingenui. It is impossible to argue from the fact that a cohors voluntariorum and a cohors ingenuorum never appear bearing the same numbers, since the series has many gaps, and only the following regiments can be traced:

	I Ingenuorum C. R.552	v. 3936.
	IV Voluntariorum C. R.	Pannonia Superior.
	VI Ingenuorum C. R.	Germania Inferior.
	VIII Voluntariorum C. R.	Dalmatia.
	XIII Voluntariorum C. R.	iii. 6321.
	XV Voluntariorum C. R.	Germania Inferior.
	XVIII Voluntariorum C. R.	Pannonia Superior.
	XIX Voluntariorum C. R.	vii. 383.
	XXIII Voluntariorum C. R.	Pannonia Superior.
	XXIV Voluntariorum C. R.	Germania Superior.
	XXVI Voluntariorum C. R.553	Germania Superior.
	XXX Voluntariorum C. R.	Germania Superior.
	XXXII Voluntariorum C. R.	Germania Superior.
The following regiments seem to have a similar character, although we know nothing concerning the occasion of their creation:
	I Italica Voluntariorum C. R.	xiv. 171.
	II Italica Voluntariorum C. R. M.	Cappadocia.
	I Campanorum Voluntariorum C. R.554	Dalmatia—Pannonia Inferior.
Lastly, a series of at least seven regiments bearing the inexplicable title of Campestris, of which only the following have left traces:
	III Campestris	Dacia.
	VII Campestris	Syria.
The following three regiments should perhaps be included in the same category:
	Ala I C. R.	Pannonia Inferior.
	Cohors Apuleia C. R.	Cappadocia.
	Cohors I Lepidiana C. R.	Moesia Inferior.
In a final section I have grouped together regiments which bear non-ethnical titles, and a few cases of ethnical titles which are at present inexplicable, owing to our ignorance of the situation of the tribes referred to. In the former case it must, however, be remembered that many of these regiments may have had ethnical titles which are not mentioned in the only references to them which we possess.

This last section completes our survey of the auxiliary forces of the Empire so far as they are known to us, and it is some satisfaction to feel that so far as the mere names of the regiments go our knowledge is now approaching completion. The recently discovered diploma for Moesia Superior (A. E. 1912. 128), which gave the names of twenty-four regiments which were stationed in the province in 103, did not mention one previously unknown to us, and a glance at the Année Épigraphique for the past ten years will show how rarely a fresh name appears among the numerous inscriptions dealing with the auxilia. This knowledge does not, of course, carry us very far; while so many regiments are merely known to us by name from one or two casual inscriptions, we can tell neither the total number of auxilia maintained at any one time nor the relative strength of the frontier garrisons, and a host of minor problems are even further from solution. The very fact, however, that new evidence is now so slow to accumulate seemed to justify the attempt to utilize the available material and state summarily such conclusions as are at present attainable on a subject of some interest and importance to all students of the Roman Empire.

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.
