Greetings!
I have been trying to assemble a list of the military units that supported Postumus and the creation of the Gallic Empire. Is there a comprehensive (dangerous word, I know) listing already extant?
I am writing a book set in that time frame and I want it to be as historically accurate as I can make it. Don't want you guys hunting me down!
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
...due to computer and bandwith troubles only a quick'n dirty answer:
There are several papers dealing with phenomena of the second half of the 3rd century.
They are mostly in German and/or French.
e.g.
Die Krise des 3. Jhds n. Chr. und das Gallische Sonderreich -- Akten des Interdiziplinären Kolloquiums Xanten Feb. ,26.-28.Februar 2009 (Zakmira-Schriften Band 8)
The crisis of the 3rd century (AD) and the "Imperium Galliarum" (In German). Papers of the Interdisciplinary Kolloquium at Xanten (D) , 26.-28. February , 2009.
Wiesbaden 2012 Edited by Thomas Fischer, 429pp.

Simplex, thanks for the links!! They'll keep me busy for a while. Quick is good but I am really looking forward to the dirty....
Good luck with the bandwidth/computer issue. Firefox makes my PC rather finicky. I hate that.
