Legio XII Fulminata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Legio XII Fulminata (wielder of the thunderbolt), also known as Paterna, Victrix, or Antiqua, was originally levied by Julius Caesar in 58 BC and accompanied him during the Gallic wars until 49 BC. |
 | | In 62, IV Scythica and XII Fulminata, commanded by the new legatus of Cappadocia, Lucius Caesennius Paetus, were defeated by the Parthians at battle of Rhandeia and forced to surrender. |
 | | In 66, after a Zealot revolt had destroyed the Roman garrison in Jerusalem, the XII Fulminata, with vexillationes of IV Scythica and VI Ferrata, was sent to settle the matter, but sent back by Gaius Cestius Gallus, legatus of Syria, when he saw that the legion was weak. |
