 Roman Legions
The name Legio is coeval with the foundation of Rome, and always denoted a body of troops, which, although subdivided into several smaller bodies, was regarded as forming an organised whole.
Legio Decima Equitata, the Tenth Legion of Julius Ceasar, was not the same unit as Legio X Fretensis, which was reported to have been officially formed sometime during 712 or 713 AUC (41 to 40 BC) by Octavian.
Legio X Fretensis derived its name from the Fretum Siculum, which is the water channel located between Italy and Sicily, now called the Straits of Messina.

"Primipilus of the Twenty-second Legion Deiotariana, Prefect of the Twentieth Legion Valeria Victrix."
This would appear to be (part of?) the curriculum vitae of a commander of the Twentieth legion and if so does not prove that any part of Deiotarus' legion was stationed in Britain, merely that a former 'First Spear' of the legion was later posted to the Chester fortress as Prefect of the Twentieth.
Which perhaps indicates that a vexillatio of the Twenty-second under the command of a praepositus (literally 'the man in charge') was stationed at Chester together with the Twentieth.

Strange rites of expiation and sacrifice were resorted to, victims were stain by thousands, and the assistance of the gods of the Orient sought for as well as that of the gods of Rome.
