To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mention of the 8th Legion in this inscription brings before us the subject of the troops by whom Vicus Aurelii was garrisoned. These were drawn at first jfrom the 8th and afterwards from the 22nd Legion.
But, to whichsoever Legion they belonged, it seems that the smaller divisions, which were stationed here, remained unchanged. These were the Gohors Prima Helvetiorum and the two Numeri Brittonum of the latter, one with the addition ,Galedoniorum, the other with a sur- name (M or Mu) which h...as not yet been deciphered.
This last portion of the garrison of Oehringen has naturally an especial interest for us. We are familiar with the inscriptions which show the nations of Spain, of Holland, of Friesland, and of Rhineland, stationed on our moors and by our rivers. We now learn somewhat as to how the return visit was paid : we see our countrymen or our Caledonian neighbours doing sentry duty for the Romans on the hills of Swabia. The British troops seem, perhaps on account of the similarity of their native climate to that of Germany, to have been especially selected for garrison work on the limes.
