Thank you for the insights gentlemen.....
I was under the impression that effectively auxilliaries were added to a legion when it was deemed necessary therefore making for a very flexible fighting force.
In the case of the Fourteenth as an example it is recognised that they had a number of Batavians attached to them during the Boudican uprising but I do not know whether these were attached as part of the invasion force for Anglesey or had been attached from the original AD43 invasion.
Regarding artillery, would there have been specialist units or would each Legion have contained its own?
My apologies for the term "Battle Group" it was just a way to indicate a fighting force gathered together for the purpose of a particular war as opposed to the general army being used for garrison purposes.
Kind Regards - Deryk
