Legio Decima Equitata, the Tenth Legion of Julius Ceasar, was not the same unit as Legio X Fretensis, which was reported to have been officially formed sometime during 712 or 713 AUC (41 to 40 BC) by Octavian.
Legio X Fretensis derived its name from the Fretum Siculum, which is the water channel located between Italy and Sicily, now called the Straits of Messina.

 The Roman Army Page
The core of the Roman army was formed by the units called legions from the latin legio, meaning a levy.
The legio was a miniature army that contained within its ranks troops trained and equipped to perform all kinds of different duties both on and off the battlefield.
In the course of the third century AD the cohortes praetoriae in the comitatus, the imperial field army, were regularly supplemented by mobile troops from the legio II Parthica based at Albanum in Italy.

 Model Answer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Part of the reason was the growing number of tasks to be performed, including fire-fighting/prevention by the vigiles, riot-policing by the Urban cohorts, the provision of a cavalry guard by the equites singulares Augusti, the carrying of messages by the frumentarii.
But the concentration of Praetorians in the capital and the establishment of legio II Parthica in the Alban hills indicate that part of the reason was to concentrate military forces around Rome.
This is particularly true of Septimius Severus' stationing of legio II Parthica close to Rome in the aftermath of the civil war of AD 193.
