Auxilia Cohorts and the Claudian Invasion of Britain

[Tim Edwards]

Thanks all for the debate thus far.

I knew our knowledge was sketchy, but I did not realise quite how much presumption was involved, even with Legionary units.

I too was convinced that the presence of Batavian Cohorts in the invasion force was 'fact', rather than interpretation (however reasoned).

The more you learn the less you know eh?! It amazing how factoids seem to develop.

Paullus - Conscious we are moving on a couple of decades, but which Cohors Delmatrum and Gallorum are you referring to and where/how are they attested?
