Cohors V Delmatarum c . R . Cohors quinta Delmatarum civium Romanorum ( " 5th Cohort of Dalmatae Roman citizens " ) was a Roman auxiliary infantry regiment . It is named after the Dalmatae ( or " Delmatae " ) , an Illyrian - speaking tribe that inhabited the Adriatic coastal mountain range of the eponymous Dalmatia . The ancient geographer Strabo describes these mountains as extremely rugged , and the Dalmatae as backward and warlike . He claims that they did not use money long after their neighbours adopted it and that they " made war on the Romans for a long time " . He also criticises the Dalmatae , a nation of pastoralists , for turning fertile plains into sheep pasture . Indeed , the name of the tribe itself is believed to mean " shepherds " , derived from the Illyrian word " delme " ( " sheep " ) . The final time this people fought against Rome was in the Illyrian revolt of AD 6 - 9 . The revolt was started by Dalmatae auxiliary forces and soon spread all over Dalmatia and Pannonia . The resulting war was described by the Roman writer Suetonius as the most difficult faced by Rome since the Punic Wars two centuries earlier . But after the war , the Dalmatae became a loyal and important source of recruits for the Roman army . According to Holder , a total of 12 " cohortes Delmatarum " appear to have been raised after the suppression of the Illyrian revolt in two series , of 7 and 5 respectively . All these units were in existence by the time of emperor Claudius ( r . 41 - 54 ) Of these , 9 appear to have survived into the 2nd century . The regiment was probably raised by founder - emperor Augustus ( r . 30 BC - AD 14 ) after 9 AD . It was certainly in existence by the time of Claudius ( r . 41 - 54 ) . It is unclear why two " cohortes Delmatarum " were given the same number " V " : this regiment and another " V Delmatarum " in Germania Superior ) . Spaul suggests the regiment in Mauretania may be the cohors I Liburnorum , renamed . The regiment first appears in the datable epigraphic record in AD 88 in Mauretania Tingitana . It was still there in 158 , the time of its last datable inscription . Apart from diplomas , there is no epigraphic evidence for this unit . The regiment ' s title " c . R . " first appears in a diploma of 122 . The honorific title " civium Romanorum " ( " c . R . " for short ) was normally awarded by the emperor for valour to an auxiliary regiment as a whole . The award would include the grant of Roman citizenship to all the regiment ' s men , but not to subsequent recruits to the regiment . The regiment , however , would retain the prestigious title in perpetuity . ( N . B . Until 212 , only a minority of the empire ' s inhabitants ( inc . all Italians ) held full Roman citizenship . The rest were denoted " peregrini " , a second - class status . Since the legion s admitted only citizens , " peregrini " could only enlist in the auxilia . Citizenship carried a number of tax and other privileges and was highly sought - after . It could be earned by serving in the auxilia for the minimum 25 - year term .
Concrete bomb A concrete bomb is an aerial bomb which contains dense , inert material ( typically concrete ) instead of explosive . The target is destroyed using the kinetic energy of the falling bomb . Such weapons can only practically be deployed when configured as a laser - guided bomb or other form of smart bomb , as a direct hit on a small target is required to cause significant damage . They are typically used to destroy military vehicle s and artillery pieces in urban areas , in order to minimise collateral damage and civilian casualties . Guided or unguided concrete bombs may also be used for training pilots and ground personnel , due to the advantages of cost ( no explosives or fusing ) , point of impact determination , minimised bombing range damage and safety . Concrete bombs are also used in testing and evaluation of aircraft and bombs .
