Jasper,
Rather than a rank, could I have the words on the memorial of the real Caballo- " Batavi Filio M. Ulpius Senecio"?
"Reference: CIL 03, 04890 (p 1813) = ILLPRON 00401
Province: Noricum Find Site: Rosendorf / Virunum
Caballo / Batavi f(ilio) / M(arcus) Ulpius / Senecio / fratri
This soldiers (partial) inscription was found in Austria near to the border of Hungary. It states that Caballo was a Batavian, son of Marcus Ulpius Senecio it mentions brothers too. His father was probably made a Roman citizen during the reign of Trajan, hence the Marcus Ulpius."
Your guess is almost certainly better than mine in guessing the rest of the stone!
Cheers,
Caballo
