Abstract

A papyrus in the British Museum (2851) furnishes detailed information about an auxiliary regiment in Moesia Inferior, a cohors equitata, namely Cohors I Hispanorum veterana. Conveniently known from its first editor as ‘Hunt's Pridianum’, the document has much to reveal about military life, army book-keeping—and imperial history. A revised text had long been needed. It is now to hand, with new and decisive readings, edited with exemplary care by R. O. Fink. Further, a new date appears to emerge. Not 115, but 99.
