Where I have mentioned the Hadrian's Wall Cohort forts and the garrisons most of these were of course Auxilia, however there is evidence of Legionaries being at some of these forts from time to time.
Therefore we have to consider just how these soldiers would have been commanded during their stay at these places, for they were more senior soldiers above the Auxiliaries so did they come under the command of their own centurian when there.
They may have been sent there for their expertise in re-building projects that may have been beyond the scope of the Auxilia, so were they simply travelling stone masons and joiners who could well have simply been under the control of their own centurian or did he and they come under the control of the resident unit commander during their stay.
