Quote:Singidunum is in Moesia Prima, not Dacia
You're right! Athough Aemilianus himself seemed to think otherwise:
...natus in Da/cia civitate Fla(via) Singedunum...
Perhaps a colloquial usage?
But why would a smaller unit be called an auxilium? The Roman words cohort and numerus both referred to units of less than legion size. Why therefore use a term which otherwise only connoted non-citizen troops?
