Quote:Evan could you email me the source of the Tribunis Cohortis?
Notitia Dignitatum In Partibus Occidentis under the Dux Raetiae and the Dux Britanniarum
http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/notitia1.html
The Auxilia Palatina Latini is presumably derived from the British unit Cohortis Tungrecanorum Civitatas Latinorum, as inscribed on a Tombstone dating to the Mid-3rd Century at the same post as its stationing, at least according to Ueda-Sarson. I find it conjectural, but possible. It would have had to have left Britain at the same time as the Tungri and the Seguntienses in that case, prior to when the Notitia was drawn up in 395 - coin evidence in Segontium suggests after 390. However, it could not have been after 402, or at least not after 408.
The Auxilia Palatina Raeti could be any of the Cohortis Raetorum units. If it was divided into Juniores and Seniores it could have been drawn fro two Cohortes (and therefore 1200 men strong?)
Possibilities:
Tribunus cohortis sextae Valeriaae Raetorum, Venaxamodorum.
Tribunus cohortis primae Herculeae Raetorum, Parroduno.
