	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.

		Later writers, with the events of the year AD60 rather more to the front of their minds and with the example of legio XIV Martia Victrix before them, hit upon the notion that the XXth was styled Valeria after AD6 and became Valeria Victrix after the suppression of the Boudiccan revolt in AD60.
		However, the argument from absence is not strong (as he is the first to admit) and there are a number of 2nd century inscriptions, and other inscribed material, in which the titles are omitted.
