	LEGIO VIII AUGUSTA
		Legio VIII Augusta is one of the Roman legions.
		In 6 CE, Augustus' son-in-law Tiberius was to lead at least eight legions (VIII Augusta and XV Apollinaris from Pannonia, XX Valeria Victrix from Illyricum, XXI Rapax from Raetia, XIII Gemina, XIV Gemina and XVI Gallica from Germania Superior and an unknown unit) against king Marbod of the Marcomanni in Czechia.
		In the fourth century, a subunit of the eighth august legion occupied Divitia, modern Deutz, a castle opposite Cologne, in Germania Inferior.

	Avalanche Press
		Fighting was fierce and the Celts gave as good as they got but when the XX Legion arrived on the flank to reinforce the II, it became obvious to Caractus that the battle was lost and he retreated in good order to the north.
		Employing the IX and XIV Legions which had largely escaped damage in the earlier battles, the Romans advanced with Claudius “commanding.” Contemporary accounts are at odds but it appears the Imperial procession was opposed near the river Lea by local forces that had rallied.
		With the XIV and XX Legions fresh from their victorious pacification of Wales, Gaius Paulinus knew he would be outnumbered badly by the revolting tribes.

	AD SIGNA
		I’m with members of Legion Six Victrix, whose impression is a Roman legion that served in northern Britain during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, about 130 A.D. Quartered in Eburacum (now called York), they built Hadrian’s Wall, the 70-mile defensive fortification that kept the barbarian Caledonians and Picts out of Roman Britain.
		Being a member of the Legion Six Historical Foundation in Los Angeles, California (a Roman military reenactment society), I have had the distinct pleasure of engaging in experimental archaeology within the period of my academic research, a refreshing departure from text-based research.
		I would also like to acknowledge that Matthew Amt of the Legion XX reenactment group has also begun an attempt at fashioning a copy of Bishop’s reconstruction, but to the best of my knowledge has not yet completed his project.

	Military History Online
		It is thought that the founding of Legio XX may have been as early as 40BC in support of one of Octavian’s campaigns.
		In 43AD, the legion was part of the Claudian invasion of Britain and it is likely that they made their first base at Camulodunum, modern day Colchester, before moving on to Kingsholm, near Gloucester and from there possibly to Usk in what is today the county of Gwent.
		The legion fought many actions against both the Silures and Ordovices during this time and was part of Suetonius Paulinus’s first campaign against the stronghold of Anglesey.

	Legion XXIV - Imperial Standards
		The most famous "Standard" was the "Aquila" (Eagle), the symbol of a Legion, which was carried at the head of the Legion formation when on the march by the "Aqualifer" and was staunchly protected on and off the field of battle.
		A legion which lost its Aquila or had it fall in battle was disgraced.
		It was constructed in 2006 by Joe and Thomas Perz, assigned to the Legion's Mid-West Vexillation.

		The Legion collectors that were not able to buy this issue, they have it now for $2.50 in contrast with the prices of the original issue from 1958 valued today acording to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide between $3,000.00 in Very Fine condition and $6,300.00 in Near Mint.

	Legion Arena (pc: 2005): Reviews

		Legion Arena is all about the combat, no deciding what crops to raise or whether to feed your troops or the starving peasants.
		Despite the superficial resemblance to “Rome: Total War”, Legion Arena is just the latest 3D version of the same simple wargame the developer has been peddling for a while.

	Chaos Legion (ps2: 2003): Reviews
		Underneath the gloss and overblown script, behind the limited tactical use of the Legions, Chaos Legion is an old-fashioned hack ‘n’ slash adventure.
		Despite Capcom's protestations of Chaos Legion being some 'intense gothic opera' fusion of action, RPG and strategy, it's still an essentially simple game at its heart, and might not be as involving as many would like.
		Chaos Legion is like a train on a circular track: it goes round and round, never veering from the path.

		A catalogue of the twenty-seven legions known to have been in residence there at some time during the Principate is presented as the first of two appendices.
		Pursuing a hitherto overlooked suggestion of George Boon and Paul Bidwell that legion II Augusta remained at Exeter, H. suggests a sideways move for legion XX to Gloucester and delays the move to Wroxeter by ten years.
		As far as the volume is concerned, the concentration on the legion and, in most cases, some aspect of the fortress provides a unifying theme while the variety of approach ensures that there will be something to interest Roman militarists of all complexions.

	Tutorial: Legion 1.2 Host and Vault Objects
		A vault stores inactive Legion objects: it is a persistant storage space that manages the persistent storage space of inert (i.e., inactive) Legion objects and is the virtual representation of a persistent storage space on a processor.
		All Legion host objects must be paired with at least one compatible vault object in order to carry out Legion processes.
		The user's Legion system creates HostObject4 and VaultObjectB, which are objects that can represent and manage the user's Legion processes on Host 4 and Vault B. HostObject4 will manage the user's Legion work on Host 4, and VaultObjectB will manage persistent storage of any objects that HostObject4 creates or uses.
