Cohors [prima] Batavorum milliaria civium Romanorum pia fidelis ("[1st] 1000 strong cohort of Roman citizens Batavi, dutiful and loyal") was a Roman auxiliary cohort of infantry.

The unit is attested by two diplomas issued in 165 AD at castra of Gilău and Samum. In another diploma from Gilău, dated 161/162 AD, only the "milliaria" term is preserved. An inscription from Largiana could mention this unit too.

Home Base

The cohort was stationed in Dacia at Certinae.
