  Legio XIII Gemina
Legio XIII Gemina: one of the Roman legions.
During the reshuffling of the Roman forces after the battle in the Teutoburg Forest (September 9 CE), the legion was first transferred to Augsburg, maybe briefly to Mainz (with XIV Gemina and XVI Gallica), and finally (in 16?) to Vindonissa (modern Windisch) in Germania Superior, an old Helvetian town.
At the beginning of the the reign of Commodus, Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus (both future emperors), commanded V Macedonica and XIII Gemina, and defeated the nearby Sarmatians.

  Legio XIII Gemina Information
Legio XIII, the 13th Legion (after 31 BC known as Legio XIII Gemina, the twin legion), is one of the more historically noteworthy Roman legions, as it was one of Julius Caesar's armies used in Gaul, and also for his civil war.
Legio XIII was levied by Julius Caesar in 57 BC, before marching against the Belgae, in one of his early interventions in intra-Gallic conflicts.
During the Gallic wars (58-51 BC), Legio XIII was present at the Battle against the Nervians, the siege of Gergovia, and while not specifically mentioned in the sources, it is not unreasonable to assume that Legio XIII was also present for the Battle of Alesia.

XIII Gemina's first posting under Augustus was at Burnum (modern Kistanje) on the Adriatic coast of Croatia from 30-16 B.C. During Tiberius' campaign to conquer the Alpine regions, it moved to Emona (now Llubljana) in Slovenia.
XIII Gemina left Emona and was transferred to Augusta Vindelica (Augsburg) in Germany to replace a legion sent to restore the Rhine frontier.
This was XIII Gemina's home until 89 A.D. although the legion was part of the army that fought for Otho against Vitellius in Italy in 69 A.D., and afterwards campaigned along the Rhine under Cerialis to bring law and order to Germania.

 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 XIII acquired the cognomen Gemina ("twin", a common appellation for legions constituted from portions of others) after being reinforced with veteran legionaries from other legions following the war against Mark Antony and the Battle of Actium.
Under Trajan the Legion took part in both Dacian wars (101-102, 105-106), and it was transferred by Trajan in 106 to the newly conquered province of Dacia (in Apulum, modern Alba Iulia, Romania) to garrison it.

 LEGIO QUATTUORDECIMAE GEMINA
Although there is evidence to show Augustus' Legio X Gemina is directly descended from the remnants of Caesar's favourite Legio X Equestris, there is no direct evidence for the genesis of Legions XIII and XIV Gemina, but this may be due simply to the incompleteness of the literary and epigraphic record.
Legio XIV Gemina were numbered among the four original legions who saw action during the Claudian invasion of Britain in AD43, under the overall command of the propraetor Aulus Plautius.
The Fourteenth, acting in concert with Legio XX Valeria from Gloucester and several Auxiliary regiments from mid-Wales managed to crush the Boudiccan revolt of AD60, perhaps near Manduessedum (Mancetter) in the Midlands, where 80,000 British tribesmen were killed, warriors mainly of the Iceni and Trinovantes tribes of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.
