During Antony&#039;s civil war, the legion fought for Mark Antony until the defeat in the Battle of Actium, after which the legion moved into Octavian&#039;s army. The veterans settled in Patras. When the legion rebelled under Augustus, it was disbanded, stripped of its Equestris title, and, being populated with soldiers from other legions, renamed X Gemina.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
