CIL 03, 00550: leg(ionis) I Minerviae P(iae) F(idelis) bello Dacico

These two are good evidence for the involvement of I Minervia - but it could have been a vexillation rather than the whole legion (see below).
The clincher -- or one of them -- is ILS 308, a career inscription of Hadrian, which names him as leg(ato) leg(ionis) I Minerviae P(iae) F(idelis) bello Dacico. (He couldn't have gone without his legion! :wink: )
