  Legio IV Macedonica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Legio IV Macedonica (from Macedonia), was a Roman legion levied by Julius Caesar in 48 BC with Italian legionaries.
IV Macedonica sided always with Julius Caesar's adopted son, Octavian, first against Caesar murderers in the battle of Phillipi in 42 BC, then against Mark Antony in the naval battle of Actium in 31 BC.
During the Batavian rebellion (69/70), IV Macedonica secured Mainz and fought under Potillius Cerealis against the rebels.
