Aux Flavia Bessorum
Cohors II Flavia Bessorum was an auxiliary unit of the Roman Empire, likely formed during the early imperial period.  Its soldiers were primarily recruited from the Bessorum tribe, located in what is now modern-day Romania.  The cohort played a crucial role in the Roman military system, providing essential support in various campaigns across the empire, particularly in the provinces.  Active during the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, it is known to have been stationed in regions like Britain and Germania, participating in key military operations and contributing to the Romanization of these areas.  The cohort’s legacy reflects the broader integration of local populations into the Roman military framework, showcasing the diverse composition of Rome's armed forces.
