<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 2801250, member: 84744&quot;]I did some research on the legions named on the Antony denarii a little while ago, trying to pick which one I wanted.&nbsp; This is probably Legio III Gallica, which was definitely with Antony in Parthia.&nbsp; By contrast, the origins of III Cyrenaica are obscure.&nbsp; So the betting has to be Gallica.</p><p><br /></p><p>I few additional tidbits from my notes about it, in addition to Mat&#039;s info:&nbsp; </p><p>- went to Syria under Augustus and helped return Crassus’s eagles</p><p>- fought for Vespasian at Cremona</p><p>- the key legion supporting Elagabalus</p><p>- Valerian’s legion before he became emperor</p><p>Symbol: Bull.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
