- This was one of the Roman Alpine Regiments, based at Cemenelum in Nice, between c. 14-70 CE, after which it was merged with a Spanish unit.
- It then moved to Niedenberg in Germania Superior between 116-134 CE.
- Alpine regiments usually contained the tribal name in their title, hence ‘Ligurum’ (Ligurian) and ‘Hispanorum’ (Hispani).
