late roman army
#19
Quote:Nicasie's piece contained the only eyebrow-raiser, for me - the note (p.12) that Legion VI Herculia apparently had ten cohorts (I think the citation is wrong - but two inscriptions from Mursa and Bononia read Leg VI Herc X, which I assume is what he's referring to).
Perhaps he means ILS 4195 (which I cited in AW V.4 p.49), an altar set up by co(ho)r(te)s X et VII of legio II Herculia?


Quote:Incidentally, both Nicasie (p.11) and Paul MacDonnell-Staff (p.26) accept the existence of 'the central cavalry force that we know existed under Gallienus and Aurelian' (Nicasie), so contra Duncan Campbell in AW II.6...
Pity. Gallienus' Schlachtenkavallerie has become an article of faith, and no-one seems to look at the (lack of) evidence.
