Interesting and could be true. However, to be strict, that is not necessarily a case for 'marines' equipment'. We do not know if the former naval troops were re-equipped. In fact, in the case of I Adiutrix, the naval troops were first slaughtered while (prolly unarmed!) clamouring for official legionary status by Galba, then defeated at Bedriacum. In other words: it's quite probable that the legion had to be heavily reinforced (from where?) after the Civil War. The best you probably can say about this equipment is that they represent Italic (emergency) armaments. Greets
