Ditto.
When Antiochus' much-anticipated book appears, I will read it with great interest, but, as far as I can see, his lengthy post has nothing to with the problem of command of the legionary cohort. Perhaps it should be deleted or moved to a more appropriate thread?
As to the topic of this thread, I have little to say. There is no evidence for a legionary cohort commander. Troubling as that is to us moderns (who expect battalions to be commanded by colonels), we have to accept it and move on.
