It seems to me that other cities of the Roman Empire must have required the services of these types of units. I know that some urban cohorts of Rome were stationed outside the city but I'm not referring to those. Is there evidence of these types of units raised by other cities? I also know that Roman units habitually detached soldiers for a myriad of tasks. Were Roman soldiers detached for these types of duties in nearby cities and towns?
If these did not exist what resources did local officials have for maintaining order or firefighting?
thanks,
Jeff
