		LEGIO II ITALICA Raised by Marcus Aurelius in 165 AD, it was stationed at Albing in Noricum (Austria) and was subsequently moved by Commodus, circa 185, to Lauriacum (Lorch), on the Danube (Donau) River, west of Vindobona (Vienna).
		LEGIO XVI GALLICA Raised by Octavian in 41-40 BC; the Legion, from 30 BC onwards, was stationed on the Rhine frontier.
		The remainder of the Legion surrendered to the rebel Iulius Civilis in 69 and was subsequently disbanded by Emperor Vespasian and reconstituted as Legion XVI Flavia Firma "Flavian Steadfast".

	Legio III Augusta
		Legio III Augusta: one of the Roman legions.
		The emperor Caligula (37-41) thought that this policy was risky, and saw to it that the commander of III Augusta was one of his appointees.
		This suggests that III Augusta played a role in the civil war after the murder of the emperor Publius Helvius Pertinax, but we have no further evidence for this.

		In +40, the Emperor Caligula removed Legio III Augusta from the direct control of the Proconsul (the previous situation of the governor of a Senatorial Province being also military commander was an anomalous one).
		Legio III Augusta was thrust into the field of Imperial politics in April 68, when Lucius Clodius Macer, the legion's legate renounced his allegiance to Nero.
		Geographically isolated as it was, Legio III Augusta had relatively little impact upon the various rebellions and contests for the throne during the late second century.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Roman legion
		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.

	Legio VIII Augusta
		In 15 or 14 BCE, veterans of VIII Augusta and V Macedonica were sent to Phoenicia, to settle in the refounded city of Berytus, modern Beirut.
		In 6 CE, Augustus' son-in-law Tiberius was to lead at least eight legions (VIII Augusta and XV Apollinaris from Pannonia, XX Valeria Victrix from Illyricum, XXI Rapax from Raetia, XIII Gemina, XIV Gemina and XVI Gallica from Germania Superior and an unknown unit) against king Maroboduus of the Marcomanni in Czechia.
		In the confused year after the suicide of the emperor Nero, VIII Augusta sided with the pretender Otho and ensured his accession (January 69), but was unable to protect him against another pretender, Vitellius.

	Julius Caesar founded the original Legio VI ca (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Legio VI is conspicuously absent from a series of coins struck by Carausius honoring legions supporting his rebellion.
		On the death of Constantius on July 25, AD 306, Legio VI was among the units that acclaimed his son Constantine as Emperor at York, launching the career of one of Rome's greatest rulers.
		As to the final fate of Legio VI, we have a single tantalizing clue: The late Roman poet Claudian, writing around AD 402 in a panegyric to the great general Stilicho, recounts that Stilicho withdrew "a legion" from Britain the previous year to use against the Visigoths under Alaric.

	LEGIO VIII AUGUSTA
		Legio VIII Augusta is one of the Roman legions.

		The Octavani are evidently the old Legio VIII Augusta Pia Fedelis Constans, formerly based as Argentoratum (Strasbourg), but from an inscription mentioning the legion from Zurzach in Switzerland dating to 371AD they had apparently been partially or entirely moved away from Strasbourg before they were drafted into the Magister Peditum's Italian command.

		Legio I Italica was enrolled by Nero circa 67 CE to augment Roman forces in advance of a projected expedition against the Albani tribe living near the Bosporus straits, the entrance to the Caspian Sea.
		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.

	LEGIO OCTAE AVGVSTA MUTINENSIS G
		It is at this time that the legion was given the name Augustas, probably in recognition for its support of Octavian during the civil war with Anthony.
		The surname of Bis Augusta or Twice August was given to the legion having campaigned against the Sarmatians, Dacians and Roxolani.
		After the reign of Publius Helvius Pertinax in 193 and the coup of Didius Julianus, the legion immediately supported the countercoup of Lucius Septimius Severus, and the new emperor used the legion in his wars against the Parthian empire and, in 196/197, against his rival Claudius Albinus.

		To the south in the interior military roads led to Theveste (Tebessa) and Lambaesis (Lambessa) with extensive Roman remains, connected by military roads with Cirta and Hippo respectively.
		Lambaesis was the seat of the Legio III Augusta, and the most important strategic centre, as commanding the passes of the Mons Aurasius, a mountain block which separated Numidia from the Gaetulian tribes of the desert, and which was gradually occupied in its whole extent by the Romans under the Empire.
		Including these towns there were altogether twenty which are known to have received at one time or another the title and status of Roman colonies; and in the 5th century the Notitia Dignitatum enumerates no less than 123 sees whose bishops assembled at Carthage in 479.

		It is thought that the founding of Legio XX may have been as early as 40BC in support of one of Octavian’s campaigns.
		From here, a vexilation of the XX then joined with Legio XIII Gemina and some of the auxiliia used in the Anglesey campaign to support Legio IX Hispania, who had been ambushed by Boudicca’s rebel forces as they rampaged across the country.
		By 79AD, the camp had developed into a large military base for Legio II Adiutrix Pia Fidelis, who were withdrawn to support Domitian in the Dacian wars in 87AD, replaced by the XX and the main base for the rest of their time in Britain.
