<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2442476, member: 44132&quot;]BTW, Under Julius Caesar, this legion was given the name Equestris after Caesar mounted legionaries from the Tenth on horses as a ruse in a parley with the German King Ariovistus in 58 BC.&nbsp; Later. under the Triumvirs, it was reconstituted and the name of the legion at the time was Veneria, &quot;devoted to Venus&quot;, the mythical mother of gens Julia, but still maintained&nbsp; the nickname Equestris.&nbsp; When the legion rebelled under Augustus, it was disbanded, stripped of its Equestris title, and populated with soldiers from other legions.&nbsp; It was renamed X Gemina.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
