Thanks for posting this - I was on the verge of asking if anyone could identify the unit which might have carried out the crucifixion.<br>
<br>
With regards to the 'Italian' Cohort and the Cohors Augusta, any chance they could have been legionary cohorts on detatched duty? Or, given that (as I understand it) some auxiliary units were named after their founders, could the Italian cohort actually have been the Cohort of Italicus? Either way, it would seem rather unlikely there were Italian auxiliaries. <p></p><i></i>
