    Looks like Legio VII not VIII and it looks authentic to me.

    The last "I" is actually the bottom of the standard. So LEG VII

    Are you certain about this @Jay GT4? If what you say is true, then it would be a Legio VI not VII. I think the bottom of standard is missing below the Roman numeral and that it is VII. Just my thoughts.

    I think we're seeing and saying the same thing :)

    LEG VII not LEG VIII
