"Well, if you don't believe the altar stones, then the entire study of the Roman army in Britain comes crashing down!"
The comment was directed more at the location of the find of one of the altars which is described as being found in the vicinity of Haddon Hall rather than at Navio, maybe from the supposed fort at Bakewell.
The river Navia in Northern Spain is on the edge of the Cantabri territory so I was wondering if the Cohort could have recruited so far west and carried the name to Britain.
Holder gets a good billing on the wiki pages about the unit
Pastscape seems to state Nava is British for River,
