I wonder if anyone can help me? I have now read on a number of occasions that different auxiliary units can have the same titles and we have to be careful when we read that a particular unit was in a particular place at a particular time. It may be a different cohort with the same designation.
First of all is it true that there could be different units with the same name?
Secondly if so how did this happen and how did the romans differentiate?
How can WE be sure when we talk about particular cohorts?
Thanks
