But, back to the tilestamp ... I'm tempted to read LE(gio) XXX (although all three Xs, as you noted, are not identical), but I cannot force the remainder to read VV (for Ulpia Victrix). The legion always has these cognomina, as far as I can see.
Indeed, more bizarrely, that remainder looks like PRI in mirror image, but if the stamp were reversed, the L at the start would be upside-down. (For Primigenia, we need XXII, in any case.) A frustrating conundrum. :?
