Among the legions last standing would also be the following:
Ioannes, domesticus of a „numerus Dacorum“ set up an inscription in Italy in the early 7th century (P.Ital. 18-19,B 29; 64), this is likely the legio „Daci“ (ND Or. V, 3). Several other late roman units are also attested in Italy (see Rance, Narses and the Battle of Taginae (Busta Gallorum) 552: Procopius and Sixth-Century Warfare).
According to Theophylact (2.1.6-9), a soldier of the Quartoparthoi suffered terrible wounds in a battle in 586 AD; this is likely the legio IV Parthica.
