Well the most I can help is this. http://www.unrv.com/military/legions.php

It gives a history of each Legions events. As an example of one tha goes into the 5th century.

Legio I Minervia (later Pia Fidelis, "loyal and faithful")
Foundation:
Formed by Domitian in 82 or 83 AD, and named for his favorite goddess, Minerva.
Its standard was either the likeness of Minerva or a Ram, her zodiac sign.

Permanent Bases:
I. 83 - 5th Century AD: Bonna (Bonn, Germany)
II. Subunits served various stations all over Germania. During the reign of Septimius Severus (193 - 211), subunits garrisoned Lugdunum, Gaul (Lyon, France).

Events:
89 AD: Supported Domitian against the rebellion of Saturninus in Germania earning the name Flavia Pia Fidelis. Flavia, the family name of Domitian was dropped after his death in 96 AD.
101 - 106 AD: Fought in Trajan's Dacian wars, the later part of which was under the direct command of the future Emperor Hadrian.
162 - 166 AD: Served in Lucius Verus' Parthian campaigns.
193 - 195 AD: Supported Septimius Severus in the civil war.
260 - 274 AD: Served the breakaway Gallic empire.
351 - 353 AD: Defeated by the Franks and Bonna destroyed, but returned a few years later, remaining until the 5th century.

Any that have a history into the 5th century aren't that detailed.

Livius also has an excellent section with histories of all the known Roman legions. As with above, the information from the 5th Century is sparse, but it's the best place for info I know.
