I still can't quite accept that this is a legion with such a huge integral cavalry component and one which is referred to in such a specific manner.
My sentiments also. In slab C there is not enough tribunes (two) for slab C to be pertaining to a legion, and the title of tribunus numeri cannot be ignored. I am heavily leaning towards an infantry numerus, a cavalry numerus, plus one ala. However, I am using data and the army organisation up to 410 AD. I lot could have changed by the Perge document.
