Quote:a papyrus describes an old-style cohort commanded by a tribunus, eight senior officers including the adiutor (regimental clerk), the primicerius, six ordinarii and six others, probably the centuriones.That's interesting, thanks. Do we have any idea what the earliest dated use of these new ranks might be? I remember some controversy about primicerius, I think - was it usually a civil rather than military rank, or confined to certain units, or something?
