“…Army units recently discussed include alae named after their commanders, and local militias in the Roman Empire. 164 D. L. Kennedy examines the size of the Praetorian Guard, and length of service therein; he argues that cohorts were already milliary under the Antonines, and that ex-legionaries who joined the praetorians served the same length of time as other praetorians. 165 The impact of the legion III Augusta on the surrounding area is studied by E. W. B. Fentress; her topics include local office-holding by veterans in Numidia, buildings put up by the army, and the employment of legates as patrons.…”

This survey of developments in Roman Epigraphy is innovatory in being the work of a team, whose range of interests should ensure the inclusion of a wider variety of texts than heretofore. We have all made some contribution, larger or smaller, to most sections, but, in the last resort, each section represents a personal choice by its writer. It may help the reader, therefore, to know that sections I and II are by Joyce Reynolds, III, VII, part of IX, and XI by Mary Beard, IV, V, VI and part of IX by Richard Duncan-Jones, and VIII and X by Charlotte Roueché.

According to R IB 91 (fig . i) From the praenomen and nomen gentilicium o f this monarch as they appear in the inscription it can be concluded that Cogidubnus was a Roman citizen and that he received this citizenship from the emperor Claudius. N ot least the Chichester inscription is renowned for the problem presented by the fifth line containing muneris indication quae tot movit difficulta te st as a British client-king Cogidubnus would seem to have been granted senatorial rank and in that position he would have become legatus Augusti, imperial legate in Britain. 'There is no instance o f any other legatus Augusti not a senator. It seems hardly conceivable that Claudius could have con ferred such a rank on a British king, however loyal and co-operative'.4Many scholars have tried -with more or less ingenuity -to give an explanation o f this legateship.5 In doing so they have always started from the assumption that line 5 had been read correctly in CIL vii 11 and RIB 91. In the present article an attempt will be made to prove that the reading is wrong. This study originated from surprise at the content o f line 5 and at what the drawing in R IB ( fig . i) shows there.
