Can you enlighten me on that then, please?
Sorry, I missed this post. The reference to the six military tribunes is Polybius. Other than that, I am not sure what you are asking.
I knew about Polybius but thought that you were referring to a much later period. What I am asking is:
(a) What is a tribune cohort?
(b) To what period did it relate?
(c ) What is the evidence for it?
(d) It is a term I am unfamiliar with. Is it an inference on your part and, if so, how did you reach that conclusion?
You have also said that a legion could be organised into six tribune cohorts of 800 men each and ten cohorts of 480 men each. Are you suggesting that there were two different types of cohort and, if so, did they co-exist and, if they did not, when were they each in existence?
