I want to know something more about garrison at Rome (except praetorian cohorts and vigiles).
I know, that in Rome existed Urban cohorts, similar to Praetorians, in strenght of 500-1000, but whad did they do? Did they be policemans?
I also heard about Peregrini (something like secret police) and about frumentarii (couriers ?).
Does anyone know more about these units?
