Quite difficult really, all the sources you find will all vary, especially when it comes to numbers. Each legion would have several aux units attached, esp by second century AD when the aux were used alot more regularly than the legions. Best bet is to illiminate the units which weren't there: Legio secunda Augusta, Twentieth via victrix etc were all in Britain (one of the highest concentrations of legions). On an interesting note, the famous ninth legion were possibly posted there around this time....
Best bet though is to type Legio Secunda Agusta into your browser and go to the Roman re0inactment group by the same name. email them with your question and their vast knowledge base will be able to give you everything you ever wanted to know.
Good hunting.

I think that Aurelius was a general that helped moderinze the Roman Empire. He is credited for the invention of the 'Marius Mule' a way by which troops could carry their own gear, and regarded by many as the father of the modern legionnary army. As for his campaigns, my knowledge is a bit sketchy.
