Cohors secunda Gallorum Dacica equitata ("2nd part-mounted Cohort of Gauls in Dacia") was a Roman auxiliary cohort which contained both infantry and cavalry contingents. It was probably originally raised in Gallia Lugdunensis (central France) in the time of the founder-emperor, Augustus (r. 30BC - 14AD). The regiment is first attested in Dacia (Romania) in 109 AD, shortly after the end of the Dacian Wars (99-106). Its last datable attestation is from 179, still in Dacia Superior.

  • Cohors secunda Gallorum Dacica equitata ("2nd part-mounted Cohort of Gauls in Dacia") was a Roman auxiliary cohort which contained both infantry and cavalry contingents. It was probably originally raised in Gallia Lugdunensis (central France) in the time of the founder-emperor, Augustus (r. 30BC - 14AD). The regiment is first attested in Dacia (Romania) in 109 AD, shortly after the end of the Dacian Wars (99-106). Its last datable attestation is from 179, still in Dacia Superior. Its later fate is unknown. The regiment was previously known as II Gallorum Pannonica to distinguish it from another II Gallorum, which became known as cohors II Gallorum Macedonica, a purely infantry regiment. The title Dacica first appears in the record in 156. The full name of just one praefectus (regimental commander) survives: P. Licinius Maximus, from an undatable inscription on a dedicatory stone at Alhambra in Spain which may be his home region. Also attested (144) is a Thracian eques (common cavalryman), whose name is only partially preserved.
