First Cohort in Campaign?

Can you get Legionary First Cohorts in Campaign? Sorry I know this has probably been asked before, but I searched around and couldn't find the answer.

You can, but I'm pretty sure they can only be recruited in Rome after the Marian reforms.

They can be given to you as a Senatorial gift after the Marius reform (before that you´ll get Triarii). And they can be built in Rome, so if you take the city before you´ve reached the 50-province count you can build them.

Are comitanses first cohorts only trainable and retrainable in Rome and Constantinople? (in BI)

The First Cohorts in the BI game are trainable in any City advanced enough as far as I know. I can’t remember the name of the building required but for an example as the Eastern Roman Empire you can build them approx mid-campaign in Constantinople. So the capital cities of the Western and Eastern Empires can build them certainly and in the ERE campaign I finished a while back they were also available in Ravenna (Venetia) also.

By the end of the game I had at least 1 First Cohort in each army.
