Well, I'm not sure it is that relevant. It seems a little anachronistic. Take Housesteads fort; the ND states that the First Cohort of Tungrians is the garrison (from at least 200 AD onwards). From the end of the 3rd century an inscription mentions the Cuneus Frisiorum, a small, irregular cavalry force of Frisian tribesmen. By the fourth century a unit existed there called the Numerus Hnaudifridi.
Were these last two the same? Did they share the fort with the I Tungrian?
