Cohort commander?

[Frank]

The only possible exception might be this one, from Olbia (AE 1995, 01348):

per vexil(lationem) / [leg(ionum)] I Ital(icae) V Mac(edonicae) / XI Cl(audiae) et c(ohortium) VI sub Ma/lico |(centurione) leg(ionis) XI Cl(audiae)

Malicus is a centurion, and appears to command the vexillation (?), which includes six cohorts of... something! Extra auxilaries? Does Malicus just command the extra cohorts, or the legionaries too?

:unsure:

Actually, this quote does not say exactly 6 cohorts of the mentioned legions, it just could say soldiers from these units, without telling us how many soldiers. Well, my latin is not the best. Also the purpose of this vexillatio would be nice to know.

And as Robert says, it could be fully different.
