Numerus Hnaudifridi

The Numerus Hnaudifridi ( German Numerus des Hnaudifridus ) was a Roman auxiliary unit . It is evidenced by an inscription.

Name components

Hnaudifridi : of the Hnaudifridus. One of the first commanders of the unit was probably an otherwise unknown Hnaudifridus , after whom the number was named.

history

The number was stationed in the province of Britannia Inferior in the 3rd century AD . He erected an altar in Vercovicium , which was dedicated to the goddesses Baudihillia and Friagabis from the Deae Alaisiagae . In Vercovicium two more inscriptions (RIB 1593, 1594) were found, which are also dedicated to the Deae Alaisiagae . Since both inscriptions were donated by the Cuneus Frisiorum Vercovicianorum , this unit could have emerged from the Numerus Hnaudifridi .
