Legio XIV Gemina
Legio XIV Gemina Martia Victrix was a
legion of the
Roman Empire created by
Octavian. The name
gemina (twin in latin) suggests that the legion resulted from fusion of two previous ones;
martia victrix (martial victory) were cognomens added by
Nero following the victory over
Boudicca. It was one of four legions used by
Aulus Plautius in the invasion of
Britain by Rome in
43. In
68 it was stationed in Galia Narbonensis.
