I have not read the book, but we are pretty certain that at least a subunit stayed in Nijmegen during the reign of Hadrian. However, this same unit, perhaps together with another, is also called "the British troops" (or something like that, no access to library here). These have been taken to be contemporary (i.e, referring to the same unit at the same time) but it may indeed be that the subunit abandoned the name VIIII Hispana and was renamed.
