Thanks all - I'll respond to each in turn because of the different areas of interest.
Much for me to follow up there. Amelianus, if you are interested in this area, beware of how the word "legion" is used in some primary sources. I came across an article (which I have to "re-find" due to a recent computer disaster) entitled something like A British Legion in Gaul 530 AD. The author provides evidence to suggest this use of "legion" meant "army" or host.
Many thanks and I will try to locate that article and get a copy if it would be of interest to you or any others in the Romano-British field.
Cheers
