Short description

Ala I Thracia Equestrvs Victix Romanorum: highly disciplined and skilled cavalrymen who provide support to Roman legionaries in battle.


Description

The Roman army possessed many units raised in Thrace, both before and after the creation of the Roman province in A.D. 46. They include both cavalry (alae) and infantry (cohortes), in units of five hundred or (in the case of some cohorts) a thousand strong. Most, if not all, of these units appear to have been formed during the first century A.D... the Roman army was unmethodical in its numbering and naming of units, and every time new Thracian units were raised, they were numbered from cohors (or ala) I upwards... in consequence, there are at least five units which might appear in inscriptions as "ala I Thracum" and at least eleven with the title "cohors I Thracum."

 

Known units include "ala I Thracum Herculiana" which was attested in Syria in 157, "ala I Augusta Thracum" through "ala III Augusta Thracum" attested in Syria, on the Danube (Pannonia) and in Mauretaina Caesariensis (modern day north Africa, Berber kingdom), "Ala I Thracum Victrix" attested in Pannonia Superior from 133-154, and possibly as late as 163, Ala I Thracum Mauretana, service in Mauretania (probably under Gaius and Claudius); subsequently it is attested in Egypt from 142 or earlier to at least the reign of Severus. Also, "Ala I Thracum veter. sagittariorum", Service in Pannonia and in Mauretania, and "ala I Thracum," attested in Britain in 103 and 124AD.
