	Legio X Gemina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Legio X Gemina, the twin legion, was levied by Julius Caesar on 58 BC, for his invasion of Gaul.
		In the Gallic wars, X Equestris played an important role on Caesar's military success and for this reason is sometimes said to be his favourite.
		In 70, after the Batavian rebellion was suppressed by Vespasian, X Gemina was sent to Batavia in Germania Inferior to police the lands and prevent new revolts.

	10th Legion book by Collins - www.ezboard.com
		I would like to have a better understanding of the extent the final incarnation of X Fretensis is linked historically and traditionally to Caesar's X Equestris and the later X Gemina, and if some form continuity existed through these incarnations other than the number.
		Many problems, from confusing the various Legions who were given the number "X", with neglecting or explaining away contemporary sources that don't fit with the author's theories, and with creative history used to fill in the gaping holes in the main theory without making any difference between the solid sources and the additional bits.
		For instance he only used english sources and thinks that legio VI ferrata was named so because of the introduction of the segmentata in the 40's AD....You cannot do proper academic research on the 10th legion Gemina leaving all the german and french and spanish literature out.

		As Caesar discovered with the Legio X Equestris, a powerful unit more dangerous than its fellow legions was desirable in the field.
		When Augustus became the first ruler of the Roman Empire in 27 BC, he decided such a formation was useful not only in war but in politics.

		It would have been better if he had openly showed the conflicting claims about the lineage of the various Tenth Legions (Caesar's, Equestris, Gemina, and Fretensis) and then stated why he believed Fretensis is the direct lineage unit descendant backed by his research that led him to believe that.
		Even if he included the histories of the Tenth Legion Equestris, Tenth Legion Gemina and Tenth Legion Fretensis and let the reader decide for himself which of these deserves the distinction it would have been a great improvement.
		In the end it is evident the author wishes to believe Fretensis is Caesar's Tenth and wants the reader to take his workd for it.
