1 Ritterling was director of Wiesbaden museum from 1898. He had also been singled out by Mommsen to compile the reference work Index rei militaris imperii Romani that was planned by the Prussian Academy. His death in 1928 prevented completion of several other projects, though studies of the administration and garrison of Roman Germany were carried through by E. Groag and E. Stein.

3 E.g., for XV Apollinaris (259-315, by E. Wheeler).

10 A suggestion by E. Hübner (CIL II 22*, 662, 719) that legion XX may have been in Spain can now be discarded since its colonists at Mérida are to be dated after A.D. 43 when the legion was stationed in Britain (S. Perea Yébenes 581-87).
