Legio I Adiutrix: one of the Roman legions.
During the war of succession, I Adiutrix and XIII Gemina fought bravely for the emperor Otho in first the battle of Cremona (April 69) but were defeated; the new emperor Vitellius sent it to Hispania, but in 70, we find it fighting under Quintus Petillius Cerialis against the rebellious Batavians.
I Adiutrix was among his staunchest supporters and a considerable part of the legion took part in his march on Rome, against Didius Julianus, who had in the meantime seized the throne.

 The Roman Gask Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Although the Flavian withdrawal from Scotland was probably largely caused by the withdrawal of Legio II Adiutrix and other units, following disasters on the Danube, other factors must have seriously exacerbated the effects of these force reductions, making withdrawal more inevitable and later re-occupation less vital.
This paper began by fully accepting Dr Breeze's view that the withdrawal was triggered when the loss of Legio II Adiutrix (and whatever auxiliaries accompanied it) left the Romans with insufficient forces to hold and extend the new conquests.
But, the writer would argue that the fact that what was still the largest provincial army in the Empire (4) was found to be insufficient, when elsewhere geographically more difficult areas were being held by much smaller forces, may be at least in part due to the state of the indigenous society.

We will probably never know if this helmet was made this way or had been modified by one of its previous legionary owners, perhaps taking the plume knob from a favorite, earlier model helmet.
Legio II Adiutrix was stationed at Aquincum, and it is probable that this helmet belonged to that legion, due to its similarity to the Mainz helmet inscribed Legio I Adiutrix.
Both legions were raised from marines in Italy by emperor Nero, and it is possible that both legions could have originally been equipped with these feathered brass helmets probably made in Italy, as either a "marine", or "Italian" distinction.
