For the first known fragment of another diploma with the same text, being the earliest known diploma for the equites singulares, and now with this fragment is known in two copies, see: AE 1994, 1519 = Roxan, Margaret M., Roman Military Diplomas 1985-1993, UCL/IoA, Occasional Publication 14, 1994, no.158 (a photocopy of the entry is included for reference), or here online: https://edh-www.adw.uni-heidelberg.de/edh/inschrift/HD055911; also cf. commentary by W.

The equites singulares were the personal cavalry of the emperor being the mounted arm of the Praetorian Guard and were based in Rome at the Caelian Hill; they also formed part of the personal escort to the emperor when he travelled. It is believed that the unit comprised about 1000 horsemen in the time of Hadrian, divided into turmae or squadrons and, from the Trajanic Frieze in the Arch of Constantine, their emblem was a scorpion. Fine condition. Diplomas issued to the equites singulares of the Praetorian Guard are very rare.
