Urban Cohort

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

It has been said, but here is the official EB answer.

Urban Cohorts as in RTW never existed. The analogous unit in EB are the Vigiles, though they were a sperate organisation.

What is your question exactly?

My question was first is "Urban Cohort" a historical unit? And if yes then 2nd Why they have not been included in EB unit roster?
By the way ,It seems they are fictional unit in RTW and are not real.

I would appreciate you so mutch if you guys clarify me about difference between "Legionary Cohort" and "Legionary First Cohort".

Thanks a lot for the replies :~)

Well I think we did answer your first question. In answer to your second:

There were ten cohorts in a reformed Marian Legion and the first cohort was the senior of these. The Centurians were the most experienced and the legionaries the most grizzeled. The first cohort also carried the Legionary Eagle, the Legion's standard.

At some time during the reign of Augustus the size of the centuries in this cohort was doubled from 80 to 160 and their number reduced from 6 to 5.
