Can someone post the units mentioned again? I think it's the Herculani Seniores and Iovani Seniores, Felices Iuniores, Augustans, (presumably the Augustei?), and the Leones Iuniores?
Here is Adrian’s translation:
'Stilicho made ready for war the most famous strengths in Mars (in the army), selecting there from special maniples from selected youth: he further prepared the fleet in the harbours of Etruria. Alcides himself commands the Herculean cohort; the king of the gods leads the Jovian. The Nervian cohort follows and the Felix, well deserving its name, the legion, too, named after Augustus, called the Unconquered, and the brave Leones (Lions) with the witness shield.”
