9. According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true of Britain’s
auxiliary regiments of the Roman army?

○Membership in these regiments reached its highest point during the reign of
the emperor Hadrian.

The total numbers were at least 12,500 men up to the reign of the emperor
Hadrian (A.D. 117-138), with a peak around A.D. 80.

時間有誤: 高峰在A.D. 80，不在A.D. 117-138

○Most of the units recruited in Britain were sent to Morocco and other
stations outside Europe.

Most units raised in Britain went elsewhere on the European continent,
although one is recorded in Morocco.

敘述有誤: 不是送到摩洛哥，只是紀錄於那邊

○Soldiers served in the regiments for many years and after retirement
generally stayed where they had been stationed.

The reverse process brought young men to Britain, where many
*[31mcontinued to live*[37m after their 20 to 25 years of service,
and this added to the cosmopolitan Roman character of the frontier population.

正解: 待了20~25年後,繼續住在那邊

○Most of the regiments stationed on the frontier were new units transferred
from a neighboring province.

By the later Roman period, frontier garrisons (groups of soldiers) were
only rarely transferred, service in units became effectively hereditary,
and forts were no longer populated or maintained at full strength.

: Paragraph 4:
: The army also provided a means of personal advancement for auxiliary soldiers
: recruited from the native peoples, as a man obtained hereditary Roman
: citizenship on retirement after service in an auxiliary regiment. Such units
: recruited on an ad hoc (as needed) basis from the area in which they were
: stationed, and there was evidently large-scale recruitment within Britain.
: The total numbers were at least 12,500 men up to the reign of the emperor
: Hadrian (A.D. 117-138), with a peak around A.D. 80. Although a small
: proportion of the total population, this perhaps had a massive local impact
: when a large proportion of the young men were removed from an area. Newly
: raised regiments were normally transferred to another province from whence it
: was unlikely that individual recruits would ever return. Most units raised in
: Britain went elsewhere on the European continent, although one is recorded in
: Morocco. The reverse process brought young men to Britain, where many
: continued to live after their 20 to 25 years of service, and this added to
: the cosmopolitan Roman character of the frontier population. By the later
: Roman period, frontier garrisons (groups of soldiers) were only rarely

: 我想請教各位的是，第9題為什麼是選擇C呢?
: 然後第十題的答案是D，請問是不是從By the later Roman period至最後就是答案的所在
: 呢??
: 麻煩各位高手幫我解答了，謝謝^^
