guy Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 (edited) The Legio XIII crossed the Rubicon with Caesar (from HBO’s series “Rome”). Excavations at an elementary school in Vienna have found evidence of Legio XIII Gemina. This was initially Caesar’s legion that crossed with him the Rubicon in 49 BCE. Evidence of a large-scale Roman building dating to the 2nd century AD has been found, as well as bricks with the name Legio XIII Gemina. https://www.heritagedaily.com/2024/02/traces-of-the-13th-legion-gemina-found-in-vienna/150433 Here’s a video on Legio XIII: Edited February 4 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
