Summary/Abstract: The auxiliary unit entitled cohors V Breucorum was created after the bellum Pannonicum from 6-9 AD, probably at the same time with the other Breucorum units (I to IIII and VI to VIII). In the first century AD, cohors V Breucorum was stationed in Pannonia, but from the end of that century it was moved to Noricum, where it stayed until the second half of the third century, when it disappeared from the written sources. The epigraphic material emphasized eight militaries from this unit in a course of two and a half centuries of existence, most of them being recruited from Pannonia and Noricum.
