Cohors [prima] Batavorum milliaria equitata civium Romanorum pia fidelis ("[1st] part-mounted 1000 strong cohort of Roman citizens Batavi, dutiful and loyal") was a Roman auxiliary cohort of infantry and cavalry.
The unit is attested by two diplomas issued in 165 AD at castra of Gilău and Samum.[1] In another diploma from Gilău, dated 161/162 AD, only the "milliaria" term is preserved.[1] An inscription from Largiana could mention this unit too.[1]
