There are three inscriptions for veterans of Legio X Equestris at Patrae:
(00156 = ILGR 00045)L(ucio) Aemilio L(uci) f(ilio) Qui(rina) / cent(urioni) [l]eg(ionis) X Eq(uestris) IIvir(o) / P(ublio) Aem[ilio L(uci) f(ilio) Qui(rina)] / cent(urioni) l[eg(ionis) eiusdem
(CIL 03, 00503) C(aio) Aurelio P(ubli) f(ilio) Quir(ina) veter(ano) leg(ionis) X Eq(uestris) aedil(iciis) ornament(is)...
(CIL 03, 00508) C(aius) Vetullus M(arci) f(ilius) / Qui(rina) signifer / leg(ionis) X Equ(estris)
And one for a pair of tribunes from Pompeii:
[?L. Tilius] C. f. Cor(nelia) / [tr(ibunus) mil(itum) l]eg(ionis) X equest(ris) / duouir i(ure) d(icundo) // C. Tilio C. f. Cor(nelia) / Rufo patri duomuir(o) / i(ure) d(icundo) bis aedili i(ure) d(icundo) Arpini / auguri Verulis // C. Tilio L. f. Cor(nelia) auo // Fadiae C. f. / matri // C. Tilio C. f. C[or(nelia)] / Rufo fratri tr(ibuno) mil(itum) / leg(ionis) X auguri Verulis
There's also one from Brixia for a man from Legio X Veneria, which may have been the same unit:
(CIL 05, 04191) C(aius) Lanius / C(ai) f(ilius) Ani(ensi) de / leg(ione) X Vener(ia) C(aius) Lanius C(ai) l(ibertus) / Eros filius / de suo
The link between X Equestris and X Gemina rests largely on an inscription (AE 1934, 0152) from the forum in Rome which appears to couple the two names, although it's slightly unclear - is the EQVE in this case definitely part of the legion name, and not a separate word?:
] / LEG[ ] / LEGION[ ] EIVS PE[ ] / X GEMINA EQVE[ ] / CENTVRIONES E[ ] / CLVPEVM AVRA[ ] / M V V [ ]
There are plenty of inscriptions to men of X Gemina, meanwhile - just use the Datenbank link in Alexandr's post and type X GEM into 'search text 1'...
