Quote:"Praefectus legionis tertiae Italicae partis superioris, Castra Regina, nunc Vallato."
"Prefect of the Third Italica Legion, superior part (meaning HQ or experienced veterans/retirees serving as "reservists" with foederati?), [in] Castra Regina, now Vallato (the present town of Vallato in Marche, Italy?)".
I think that partis superioris means 'rthe upper regions', meaning a geographical place. The Vallato I can't place, since the comitatensan unit was supposed to be in Illyria.
