OOPS! 
hock:
William, you are right, my mistake! I thought I looked up III Italica with Ritterling, but in fact he wrote about IIII Italica being a pseudo/comitatensis unit in the Orient. III Italica was, as you correctly pointed out, stationed along the Danube.
Jona´s page about III Italica:

Tertiani Italica, the comitatensis legion derived from the old IIIrd.

William, I am not sure if the 5th cohort was indeed stationed at Castra Regina in the late 4th-early 5th c. Could you show where you found that?
