Quote:The Septima Gemina... Quinta Macedonica, the Secunda Britannici (II Augusta), and also the Undecimani (Undecima Claudia).
Yes, that might work - although it's still a hypothesis, not evidence per se (I'm hard to please!). There are also the Moesiaci and Pannoniaci, presumably drawn originally from legions in those provinces (a tombstone from Aquiliea of a soldier of Primae Italicae Moesiacae suggests this sort of detachment). The link between II Augusta and II Britannica is conjecture, although it sounds plausible.
Quote:I found one unit, upgraded to Palatina from "Tribunis Cohortis.".
That's a rank, not a unit title - which bit are you referring to?
EDIT - ah, I see you've added the info - Latini (Tribunis Cohortis Tungrecanorum Civitatas Latinorum in Britain as a Tombstone found fully reads) and the Raeti (Cohortis Raetorum, one or several of them under the Dux Raetiae)
Hmm, not sure. The palatini units could be entirely different - there are plenty of auxilia with archaic-sounding ethnic names (Sabini, for example), and both Latini and Raeti would fit with that.
