About this book
The discussion of recruiting districts notes that administrative divisions provided the basis for regiment names in Asturia, identifying several groups of regiments by name. The account cautions that some important communities did not, so far as was known, give their names to regiments, while many other tribes did.
The explanation of military titles connects certain units with groups described as nationes and distinguishes those groups from the regular auxilia's cohorts and alae. The discussion of the names used for units observes that inscriptions do not invariably use numerus and suggests that natio may have seemed convenient for a corps describing itself as Syri sagittarii.
