Military units loyal to Postumus - Brucicus - 12-29-2018

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.
Bruce

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.

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.
