Ave!
I know the 1st Cohort was double strength but with only 5 centuriae instead of the normal 6. However, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the 1st Cohort was the one all the specialist troops were attached to, i.e. HQ staff, Medical, Engineering, etc. When those were removed the fighting strength was closer to that of the other 9 cohorts.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks,
