This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ... it was identical7 with the Italic Cohort of Acts x. 1. It might well be that the same corps might be called " Itulic," because its men were exclusively Italians; and " Augustan," because they were properly part of the Emperor's guard, though a part of them might occasionally be attached to the person of a provincial governor. And we observe that, 1 It must be borne in mind that some of I In-soldiers mentioned in the Gospels belonged to Herod's military force: but since his troops were disciplined on the Roman model, we need hardly make this distinction. B. J. iii. 5. 3 Under Augustus there were nine cohorts. Tac. Ann. iv. 5. Under Tiberius they were raised to ten. Dio C. Iv. 21. The number was not increased again till after St Paul's time. 4 "Etruria ferme Umbriaque delecte aut vetere Latio et coloniis aotiquitus Romanis." Tac. 1. c.

This cohors Augusta was not a part of any Icgio.lugusta: for though three legions at least had this designation, it does not appear that auy of them ever served in Syria or Judaea. 2. It was not identical with the St-basteni (so named from Scbaste in Samaria) mentioned by Josephns. Ant. xtx. 9, 2. xx. 8, 7. xx. 6, 1. B. J. ii. 12, 5; for, in the first place, this was a troop of horse (ity Imrcuv Kahovpivri Stfioanyvuv), and secondly, we should expect a duTerent term to be used, such as aireipa isa/l. 2rf.
