Names of the legion:
The title Alaudae appears only rarely and only on inscriptions outside its garrison-province, CIL II 4188. V 547. IX 1460. 3380. XI 5210. 5211. Furthermore only the number V: apart from the finds in the Rhine area, by writers and on coins: CIL II 1176. VIII 14697. IX 4122. XIV 3408. 3602. 3608. Not. d. scav. 1906 p. 423. About the names V Gallica and V Urbana see below no. XLVIII and LIII.
*It is the veteran legion mentioned besides the tria telê ta ek Makedonias metapemptata, exestrateumenôn de hen (completely misunderstood by Riese Korr. d. R.-G. K. 1917, 39), which Antonius commanded in the march against Mutina (Appian. bell. civ. III 46).
** The appellation of the woman as concubina not uxor is noteworthy: thus the demobilized veterans provided with land still did not receive the right of conubium (see also Meyer Der röm. Konkubinat 115f.).
*** There must have been some relation between the brick-works of these legions: the hitherto not interpreted stamp L.S.N. which can be found on numerous brick-stamps of leg. XV (Steiner Bonn. Jahrb. CXVIII 247f.), appears also on one brick of leg. V (Steiner Katalog d. Mus. zu Xanten 52 no. 33 tab. XXIV 33), if the reading is correct. If these marks represent the name of an officer overseeing the brickworks (as Steiner believes), then the brick-kilns of both legions may not have been very far from each other. **** Through the whole 1st century a controlled replenishment of gaps in manpower of the legion, produced by natural retirement, was as unknown as a regular discharge of veterans. By the appointment of single probati, over the years the original troops of the legion on the memorial were mixed with a few people from the normal recruitment grounds of the Moesian legions (Macedonia and Orient).
