[28: The camp of the Cantabrian legion may have been at the place Pisoraca (Herrera on the Pisuerga, between Palencia and Santander), which alone is named on inscriptions of Tiberius and of Nero, and that as starting point of an imperial road (_C. I. L._ ii. 4883, 4884), just as the Asturian camp was at Leon. Augustobriga also (to the west of Saragossa) and Complutum (Alcalá de Henares to the north of Madrid) must have been centres of imperial roads, not on account of their urban importance, but as places of encampment for troops.] [29: With this we may connect the fact that the same legion was, though only temporarily and with a detachment, on active service in Numidia.] [30: The expression used by Josephus (_contra Ap._ ii. 4), that "the Iberians were named Romans," can only be referred to the bestowal of Latin rights by Vespasian, and is an incorrect statement of one who was a stranger.] [31: Probably the most recent monument of the native language, that admits of certainty as to its date, is a coin of Osicerda--which is modelled after the denarii with the elephant that were struck by Caesar during the Gallic war--with a Latin and Iberian legend (Zobel, _Estudio historico de la moneda antigua española_, ii. 11). Among the wholly or partially local inscriptions of Spain several more recent may be found; public sanction is not even probable in the case of any of them.] [32: There was a time when the communities of _peregrini_ had to solicit from the senate the right to make Latin the language of business; but for the imperial period this no longer held good. On the contrary, at this time probably the converse was of frequent occurrence. For example, the right of coining was allowed on the footing that the legend had to be Latin. In like manner public buildings erected by non-burgesses were described in Latin; thus an inscription of Ilipa in Andalusia (_C. I. L._ ii. 1087) runs: _Urchail Atitta f(ilius) Chilasurgun portas fornic(es) aedificand(a) curavit de s(ua) p(ecunia)_. That the wearing of the toga was allowed even to non-Romans, and was a sign of a loyal disposition, is shown as well by Strabo's expression as to the Tarraconensis togata, as by Agricola's behaviour in Britain (Tacitus, _Agric._ 21).]
