Twelfth Fulminata Legion #2902825
Description
Legio duodecima Fulminata (Twelfth Legion, armed with lightning), also known as Paterna, Victrix, Antiqua, Certa Constans, and Galliena, was a Roman legion, levied by Julius Caesar in 58 BC and which accompanied him during the Gallic wars until 49 BC. The unit was still guarding the Euphrates River crossing near Melitene at the beginning of the 5th century. The legion's emblem was a thunderbolt (fulmen). In later centuries it came to be called commonly, but incorrectly, the Legio Fulminatrix, the Thundering Legion. The Twelfth legion, as it is perhaps better known, fought in the Battle against the Nervians, and probably also in the Siege of Alesia. The Twelfth fought at the Battle of Pharsalus (48 BC) when Caesar defeated Pompey. After Caesar won the civil war, the legion was named Victrix. Later was the XII lead by another, and renamed XII Antiqua.
