The 'Vasconne cohort was a Basque auxiliary infantry Cohort in the Roman Empire. This cohort spent many years guarding Hadrian's Wall in the north of Britain. Also at some time in its history it earned the title fida or faithful for some now forgotten service to the emperor. There is some evidence for other Basque units that served guarding the empire as well.[citation needed]
