<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 5403564, member: 44132&quot;]Looking at my post, I didn&#039;t really answer your question.&nbsp; There was another Legio XIII called Legio XIII Cyrenaica which is most likely the legion referred to on my coin.</p><p>The origins of the legion remain unknown. It is believed the legion was probably founded by Mark Antony around 36 BC, when he was governor of Cyrenaica. Equally, the legion&#039;s origins may come from the fact it was commanded by Lucius Pinaris Scarpus, an ally of Mark Antony whom Antony appointed to be governor of Cyrenaica in eastern Libya. There are still records of the legion in Syria in the beginning of the 5th century. The legion symbol is unknown. Legion III Cyrenaica was one of the longest-living Roman legions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
