SOUTHERN ROMAN BARRIER IN BRITAIN. 147 



AVG-, LEG" VT V P" FiDELis, and of LEG' XX- TAL' VIC, and of the 

 cohors prima Aquitanorum (COH. I. AQVIT-) 



The date of one of the inscriptions in which the first cohort of 

 Batavians is named is A.D. 237, and of that mentioning the first 

 cohort of Aquitanians about A.D. 124. Both these cohorts were in 

 Britain in A.D. 124, as appears from Hadrian's diploma of that date. 

 From the Agricola of Tacitus, we learn that there were three cohorts 

 of Batavians in the island in A.D. 84. 



§ 8. BoROOVicus=:Housesteads. 

 Tribunus Cohortis Primce Tungrorum Borcovicio. NOTITIA. 



The cohors prima Tungrorum is named on seven stones found at 

 this place, and with the addition mil. for Miliaria on two more. 



We have also memorials here of leg- ii- AVG-, leg- vi- v P' F', 

 and of a * cohort of Pannonians. The only dates that we can derive 

 from the inscriptions that were found here are — about A.D. 124 for 

 the Second Legion, A.D. 252, and a doubtful one, but between A.D. 

 161-212. From the Agricola of Tacitus we learn that there were two 

 cohorts of Tungrians in the island in A.D. 84. 



§ 9. ViNDOLANA=Chesterholm. 



Tribunus Cohortis quartce Oallorum Vindolana. NoTlTlA. 



The cohors quarta Oallorum is named on three stones found at this 

 place. We have also memorials of leg* vi- Vic-, leg- ii- avg, and 

 LEG" XX' VV, and of cohors secunda Nerviorum (cOH- ii- NER-) and, 

 perhaps, cohors tertia Nerviorum. In n. 258 there is, probably, a 

 trace of a Pannonian cohort. We can derive no precise date from any 

 of the inscriptions, but one n. 244, in which Severiance Alexandrianoe 

 seem to have been erased, may thus be placed after A.D. 235, and 

 another n. 261 was probably of the fourth century. (See Brit. Kom. 

 Inscrip. p. 141.) 



* It is certain that there was a cohort of Pannonians in Britain in A.D. 106^ 

 aa it is named in Trajan's diploma of that date. From its position in that record 

 it may be inferred that the numeral missing there was II = secunda, and this 

 cohort is named in an inscription found at Malbray in Cumberland, but we learn 

 from Mommsen's Inscrip. Neapol. n. 5024, that the first cohort of Pannonians 

 was in Britain under the command of P. Septimius Paterculus, and as he was 

 Flatnen Divi Trajani, he may have commanded this cohort in the island in 106. 

 In the NotUia a cohors prima Augusta Pajinoniorum is stationed in Egypt.
