Legio I may have gotten its first chance to fight in 46, as part of Caesar's hasty campaign against the stubborn holdouts of Pompeian resistance in Spain.
The activities of Legio I are unclear during this period, but it seems reasonable to presume that the legion transferred across the Adriatic Sea with the great majority of Octavian's army to fight the Antonian forces at Actium.

Originally, in the time of the Kings, the legio ("conscription") was the whole Roman army, composed of levied citizens.
At some point, possibly in the beginning of the Roman Republic after the kings were overthrown, the legio was subdivided into two separate legions, each one ascribed to one of the two Consuls.
Except for Legio I to IV, which were the consular armies (two per consul), other units were levied by campaign.

 Roman legion
The Roman legion (from the Latin legio, meaning levy) was the basic military unit of ancient Rome.
Much of Roman history during this time is founded on legends, but it is believed that during the reign of Servius Tullius, all Roman able-bodied, property-owning male citizens were first divided into five classes for military service based on wealth, since soldiers provided their own weapons and equipment.
At some point, possibly in the beginning of the Roman Republic, the legio was subdivided into two separate legions, each one ascribed to one of the two consuls.
