Legio IV Scythica was a Roman legion levied by Marcus Antonius around 42 BC, for his campaign against the Parthian empire, hence the cognomen Parthica.
Between 58 and 60 AD, IV Scythica was stationed in the East, fighting in the war for Armenia with other legions such as Legio III Gallica, under Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo's command.
In 62, the IV Scythica and Legio XII Fulminata were defeated by the Parthians and forced to surrender.

 Roman legion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
