Tournay Germans, under a Praepositus,
and stationed at Lemanus (_Lymne_).

_Batavians._--A cohort stationed at Procolitia.

GAULS.

_Nervii._--A numerous cohort under a Prefect at Dictum.

_Nervii._--A cohort at Aliona.

_Nervii._--A cohort at Virosidum. How far these were Gauls, or, if
Gauls, of unmixed blood, is uncertain. During the wars of Caesar, the
brave nation of the Nervians was said to have been exterminated.
Such was not the case. Portions of it remained. At the same time,
the reduction was so great, and the subsequent influx of Germans
from the Lower Rhine was so considerable, that the soldiers in
question were, probably, as much Roman and German as Gallic.

_Morini._--Gauls from the parts about Calais. A cohort, stationed at
Glannobanta.

_Galli._--A cohort at Vendolana.

IBERIANS.

_Hispani._--A cohort. Stationed at Axellodunum.

SLAVONIANS.

_Dalmatae._--Cavalry. Stationed at Brannodunum.

_Dalmatae._--A cohort, at Praesidum.

_Dalmatae._--A cohort, at Magna.

_Daci._--A cohort, at Amboglanna.

_Thraces._--A cohort, at Gabrosentum.

_Thaifal(?)_--Cavalry. Perhaps German, but more probably Slavonians,
infamous for the turpitude of their habits.

ARAMAEANS.

_Syri._--Cavalry.

BERBERS.

_Mauri._--Under a Prefect, at Aballaba.

If we ask what proportion these foreign and miscellaneous elements in
the Roman Legions of Britain bore to the true Romans, we wait in vain
for an answer. This is because the constitution of the other portions of
the army is unknown. Who (for instance) composed the _Fortenses_, the
_Stablesiani_, the _Abulci_, and numerous other companies? Perhaps,
Romans; in which case the proportion of Syrian, Slavonian, and other
non-Roman elements is diminished. Perhaps, Syrians, Slavonians, or
Germans; in which case it is increased. That the above-named troops,
however, belonged to the ethnological divisions which are denoted by the
names, is in the highest degree probable. It is also probable that the
list may be increased; thus the _Pacenses_, the _Asti_, the _Frixagori_,
and the _Lergi_, although there are doubts, in every case, about the
reading, and still greater about the signification, have reasonably been
thought to have been regiments, or companies, named from the localities
where they were levied; but, as already stated, these localities are
doubtful.
