The Ala Vettonum are named explicitly on three altars from the Binchester site and implicated on at least 2 other stones. This five-hundred strong cavalry regiment were recruited from the Vettones tribe of Lusitania in Hispania Ulterior. They inhabited the southern Castilla y Leon region of north-western Spain where their main town was Salmantica, now called Salamanca on the Tormes.

Well they did recruit legionnaires from Egypt but AFAIK none of these were stationed in England but were at times in German campaigns
