	Vexillatio
		The vexillatio system worked initially, due to the mobility provided by the empire's excellent roads and to the high levels of discipline, cohesion and '' Esprit De Corps '' of these units and the legions from which they came.
		Later, under the Dominate, ''vexillatio'' refers to a cavalry unit of the Roman army.
		From the time of Diocletian and the Tetrarchy, and possibly as early as the reign of Gallienus, ''vexillationes'' were the usual cavalry units found on campaign.

	Vexillationes Tungrorum
		It is possible that the vexillatio was sent to Raetia from Noricum where the entire unit was stationed during the end of the first and the beginning of the second century.
		Originally it was assumed, as mentioned, that a vexillatio both from the cohors I Tungrorum milliaria and from the cohors II Tungrorum was transferred from Britannia to Noricum.
		The transfer of the vexillatio cohortis IV Tungrorum from Raetia to that province is to be situated in the context of the military reinforcements that took place in 145/147 at the request of T.Varius Clemens (ROXAN, 1973, 840; LENOIR, 1983-1984, 222).

		A vexillatio (plural vexillationes) was a detachment of a Roman legion formed as a temporary task force created by the Roman Army of the Principate.
		The vexillatio system worked initially, due to the mobility provided by the empire's excellent roads and to the high levels of discipline, cohesion and esprit de corps of these units and the legions from which they came.
		Later, under the Dominate, vexillatio refers to a cavalry unit of the Roman army.

	Agaunum
		The objections raised against the fact itself, and the attempts made to reduce the massacre of the legion to the mere death of six men, one of whom was a veteran, do not seem to merit attention.
		Barbarous as it nay appear, there is nothing incredible in the massacre of a legion; instances might be cited in support of so unusual an occurrence, though it is quite possible that at Agaunum we have to do not with a legion, but with a simple vexillatio.
		The silence of contemporary historians, which has been appealed to as an unanswerable argument against the truth of the martyrdom of the Thebans, is far from having the weight that has been given it.

	Vexillatio (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A vexillatio was a detachment of a Roman legion usually consisting of about 1000 infantry and/or 500 cavalry.
		The vexillatio system worked initially, thanks to the mobility provided by the empire's excellent roads and to the high levels of discipline, cohesion and esprit de corps of these units and the legions from which they came.
		But during the Crisis of the Third Century (a turbulent period from 235 to about 290 C.E.) vexillationes were shifted so rapidly from one area to another that units became hopelessly mixed up.

		One the foremost amongst these is “The Roman Military Research Society” otherwise known as Vexillatio Legionis Geminae, representing a detachment of the Twin Legion Legio XIIII Gemina Martia Victrix, hailing from the 1st century AD (or 1900 BP for the PC brigade!).
		Thus a century of legionaries (80 in the 1st century) led by a Centurion could present quite a fascinating appearance but not one guaranteed to be as uniform as film or TV would suggest.
		So with this caveat sounded it is time to turn to examples from Vexillatio Legionis Geminae who have several excellent types of armour represented, from the 1st century, although they all share certain features in common.

		The Equites, or Cavalrymen, were grouped in Vexillatio, a unit of 500 to 600 cavalrymen.
		The Clibanarii were catacphract members of the Palatini, of Persian origin, which could also be grouped in Vexillatio, perhaps in place of the regular cataphracts in some armies, and were sometimes even mounted archers as well, the Sagitarii Clibanarii.
		The Scholae, was a Clibanarii unit of Imperial guards, that by this time, was still in existance, but functioned more as a parade unit.

		Consequently, as soon as the Rotanev defenses are completed (only a couple of Avengers to go now), Praetorians will be given the option of joining the Vexillatio — a new detached unit of the Guard which I will be instituting - once they reach Centurio rank.
		Vexillatio members will become responsible for their own buildings, finances and assignments — the converse being that I will no longer provide them with ships and equipment from my own resources.
		There are still a few minor details to be hammered out, but I hope that the Vexillatio will enable us to retain experienced guardsmen far more effectively than we have in the past.

	CORSTOPITVM
		It may be significant that the entry identified with Corbridge in the Ravenna Cosmography, seems to show that by the seventh century the settlement had reverted back to its original Celtic name, without the Latin suffix.
		SOLI INVICTO VEXILLATIO LEG VI VIC P F F SVB CVRA SEX CALPVRNI AGRICO LAE LEG AVG PR PR "To the Invincible Sun, the Vexillation of the Sixth Legion, Victorious, Loyal and Faithful, under the administration of Sextus Calpurnius Agricola,² pro-praetorian legate of the emperor"
		This posting placed contingents from two separate legions in Corstopitum at the same time, and appears to have been cause of some disharmony, as the only altarstone dedicated by the Twentieth is one to Concordia, the dedication of which is significantly shared with the Sixth Legion (vide RIB 1125 supra).

		From the same station, part of a pillar has been preserved on which is a legible inscription to the effect that it was erected to the Emperor Antoninus Pius, by a vexillation.
		After their death, they appear to have been worshipped as a sort of genii, or tutelary deities of the places where they resided.
		About the same period, a common slab was likewise picked up at the spot referred to, on which was a representation of a Roman archer playing havoc with a herd of deer.

	The Origin of the Cult of St. Maurice
		The Passio Typasii uses the terms cuneus and vexillatio to describe a military unit, whilst the Passio Fabii avoids such specific terms altogether.
		The purpose of this statement is not to inform us of the numbers in the Thebaei, and any criticism of the text on that issue misses the point, but rather to designate the military status of the Thebaei.
		They formed a "proper" military unit and were not to be confused with units of irregular size and formation and lesser status, variously designated by terms such as numerus, cuneus, or vexillatio.

	David R Sear: Glossary Of Frequently Encountered Terms In Roman Coin Descriptions
		Originally a standard of the legionary cavalry, in Imperial times it was used by auxiliary cavalry units (alae) and was borne by the senior standard-bearer, the vexillarius.
		It was also used by detached units (vexillatio).
		Its primary function seems to have been that of a commander's flag used for signalling.

		Unlike the first conflict, the second war involved several skirmishes that proved costly to the Roman military, who, facing large numbers of allied tribes, struggled to attain a decisive victory.
		An assault against the capital Sarmisegetusa took place at the beginning of the summer of 106 with the participation of the legions II ADIUTRIX and FLAVIA FELIX and a detachment (vexillatio) from Legio VI Ferrata.
		The Dacians repelled the first attack, but the Romans destroyed the water pipes to the Dacian capital.

		Nubel's wife Nonnia and father Saturninus were Roman, while his mother Collcial was probably a Moor.

		The inscription recording a vexillatio of Raetian spearman and the first cohort of Vardulli, found in the ruins of the abbey at Jedburgh is usually taken to indicate the presence of small detachments guarding an installation at the crossing of the River Teviot.

		The Army was campaigning against a mixture of foes, Huns, so has a strong mounted command and cavalry in its other flank command.
		In addition to the above, it appears that at times the army would call on numbers of Irregular Alan auxilliaries, garrison troops (auxilia and archers) and there was clearly some form of training system for regulars and foideratoi.

		Then the praepositus saltus and the decurio dragged him out, along with the military belt which he had put aside, and his shield and spears from the same store-room, and handed him over to Claudius who was then dux of the province of Mauretania Caesariensis.
		When the comes Claudius had seen him, he said to the praepositus and the decurio, "Why have you brought before my eyes this man with his mournful attire ?" The decurion replied, "Typasius used to serve in our vexillatio, but he won an honourable discharge from Maximian Augustus in the province of Sitidensis.
		He laid up his weapons in his house and built for himself a house in the desert which he inhabited alone.
