Hi guys, i was reading a book about roman Hispania (History of Spain. Vol.5, p.37-Espasa Calpe) when I found a surprising information: apart from the regular army, municipia had organized militia units in the High Empire, and gave the following examples: "Cohors orae maritimae" which operated in coastal Baetica province and is very well known because a lot of epigraphic inscriptions; "Cohors Baetica" known because one inscription and "Cohors Servia Iuvernalis" because several inscriptions in the town of Cástulo.
Have you ever hear about this kind of troops in the Early Empire? Do you know other examples and more information?
