146 IDBNTIPIBD STATIONS ON THE 



§ 6. CiLURNUM=Cliesters. 



Prsefectus Alse, Secundas Asturum. NOTITIA. 



This ala is named on two stones found here. We have, also, memo- 

 rials of Julius Longinus and Manius Suilius Victor, who certainly 

 were in the cavalry, and very probably were, respectively, Prcefectm 

 and Eques of this ala. A legion, perhaps LEG- ii- AVG'; is mentioned 

 in an inscription of A.D. 138. The Gohors prima Vangionum is 

 distinctly read on a grave-stone, and I find *Cohors prima Cugerno- 

 rum, possibly, in L.S. n. 139, and '\ala Sahiniana, possibly, in n. 146. 



The dates of the ala II Asturum are A.D. 221, and, tperhaps, A.D 

 237, and if vlpio in n. 124 refers to Ulpius Marcellus, the Legate 

 of Commodus, we get a year, about 184. The Cohors prima Vangi- 

 onum was in Britain, as I have mentioned in §3, in A.D. 106 and 124, 

 and the Cohors prima Cugernorum was there in A.D. 104 and 124, 

 as it is named in Trajan's and Hadrian's diplomas of those dates 

 respectively, and also between A.D. 140-144, as we learn from an 

 inscription found in Scotland on the wail of Antoninus. (See Brit. 

 Kom. Insorip. p. 233, note.) 



§ 7. PROCOLiTiA=Carrawburgh. 



Trihunus Cohortis primce Batavorum Procolitia. NOTITIA. 



The cohors prima Batavorum is named on two stones found at this 

 place, where we have also memorials of vexillations of the leg* ii* 



* The extant letters are CVGI = possibly CYGERN. 



f The extant letters are YLPI 



SABIN" .... 



Dr. Bruce asks, " Can it have reference to Ulpius Marcellus, the legate of 

 Commodus?" It is not improbable that he was the person who is named, 

 and as there must have been stables here (for the Ala II Asturum) I suggest 

 that the SABIN may have been part of SABINIANA, the name of the ala 

 placed in the Notitia at Hunnum, but which may at some other time have been 

 quartered here. It is remarkable that we have two aim in successive stations. 



X In L.S. n. H6, we have the inscription treated by me in Brit. Rom. Inscrip. 

 p. 164, and Canadian Journal, xii, p. 109. Dr. Bruce reads it— "Z>.if. Aventino 

 Curatori AIcb II. Astur. Stip. XV. ^liomenus Deo. Her. pos. ..." The 

 only doubtful points are the names of the Curator, the Becurio, and the Consul 

 [cos). I suggest (according to Mr. Mossman's reading, as given in the woodcut) 

 for the first AYR- NOTHENO (or NOTHING) — Aurelio Notheno, or Notliino ; 

 for the second— JSL- lOMENYS (or lOMINVS) = ^lius lomenus or lominus 

 (whence the modern name " Jomini"); and for the third — PERPET (or PER- 

 PETY) = Perpetuo, the Consul of A.D. 237, who is named alone in L. S. nn. 

 854 & 3'78.
