I've semi-cross-posted this Legio III Italica post here, where it seems to fit better than where is first arose.
I've been particularly interested in Legio III Italica since the early 1980's, when I live & worked near formar Castra Regina (present Regensburg, Germany) & the Raetian Limes.
Notitia Dignitatum (ca. 400 AD) XXXV Dux Raetiae has what seems to be a reference to Legio III Italica, which was still based in Castra Regina at the time, and some of its "vexillations" across Reatia:
Sub dispositione viri spectabilis ducis provinciae Raetiae primae et secundae:
Equites stablesiani seniores, Augustanis.
Equites stablesiani iuniores, Ponte Aoni, nunc Febians.
Equites stablesiani iuniores, Submuntorio.
Praefectus legionis tertiae Italicae partis superioris, Castra Regina, nunc Vallato.
Praefectus legionis tertiae Italicae partis superioris deputatae ripae primae, Submuntorio.
Praefectus legionis tertiae Italicae pro parte media praetendentis a Vimania Cassiliacum usque, Cambidano.
Praefectus militum Ursariensium, Guntiae.
Praefectus legionis tertiae Italicae transvectioni specierum deputatae, Foetibus.
Praefectus legionis tertiae Italicae transvectioni specierum deputatae, Teriolis.
Praefectus alae primae Flaviae Raetorum, Quintanis.
Tribunus cohortis novae Batavorum, Batavis.
Tribunus cohortis tertiae Brittorum, Abusina.
Praefectus alae secundae Valeriae singularis, Vallatio.
Tribunus cohortis sextae Valeriaae Raetorum, Venaxamodorum.
Tribunus cohortis primae Herculeae Raetorum, Parroduno.
Tribunus cohortis quintae Valeriae Frygum, Pinianis.
Tribunus cohortis tertiae Herculeae Pannoniorum, Caelio.
Tribunus gentis per Raetias deputatae, Teriolis.
Praefectus numeri barbaricariorum, Confluentibus siue Brecantia.
Praefectus alae secundae Valeriae Sequanorum, Vimania.
Tribunus cohortis Herculeae Pannoniorum, Arbore.
My Latin skills are still basic & growing, so I'm about 50-75% sure about my understanding of LEG III ITAL references above. However, my declining German skills are still OK overall. Several German websites have LEG III ITAL history, refer to LEG III ITAL elements still operating in Raetia into the early 5th century, particularly around Alpine passes leading to Italia.
>[I'LL ADD APPLICABLE WEBSITE LINKS HERE IN A FEW WEEKS]<
That reminds me, if it's ready & possible, I'd like to proofread the RAT Ritterling LEG III ITAL text. That would refresh my memory about LEG III ITAL.
Of course, I plan more LEG III ITAL posts.
I appreciate any help with changing LEG III ITAL COH V name to the correct title for the LEG III ITAL (Main?) element that stayed in Castra Regina until the "end". +r
