Thanks Evan (hope I've got the name right)
V Macedonia is an interesting legion to try to pursue, especially as the search goes from Latin into Greek language and the name gets less formally used (e.g., "the Macedonians", Quintani, etc. As with Amelianus, your TWC posts give me lots to follow up.
Many thanks

which discuss the longetivity of the Roman Legions. Quinta Macedonia I believe survived into the 7th Century
