Hi all
I'm looking to research the Cohors Primae Baetasiorum-The First Cohort of Baetasii. They were an infantry unit recruited from the Germanic Baetasii tribe from an area between the Rhine and the Meuse rivers. During the 4/5th centuries they garrisoned a fort at Reculver in Kent near to where I live. Where could I start looking for info on this unit? I'm particularly interested in clothing/ equipment/ weapons etc. Would there have been a standard issue for this type of unit during this period.
Any help greatly appreciated
Mick
