Roman Legions were the most successful fighting force in history, and their soldiers proudly served and identified with their legion's individual names and numbers, often mentioning them on their tombstones. Some legions are named by where they served (XI Hispana), others by where they were raised (I Italica), while some were named by something else entirely (X Fretensis)! The numbering system of the legions can also seem confusing, with multiple legions often sharing the same number (I Italica, I Germanica, I Adiutrix), while others don't follow a chronological order at all (XXX Ulpia). In this video, I address the system, reasoning and logic behind these legion identities, and reveal what drove the most famous units in history! 0:00 The Sacred Identity of the Roman Legion 3:24 The Republican System 6:41 Caesar and the Chaos of Civil War 8:14 Augustus and the Professionalization of the Army 11:14 The Meaning Behind Famous Legionary Names
