Legio XIV Gemina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Legio XIV Gemina Martia Victrix was a legion of the Roman Empire created by Octavian. The name gemina (twin in latin) suggests that the legion resulted from fusion of two previous ones; martia victrix (martial victory) were cognomens added by Nero following the victory over Boudicca. It was one of four legions used by Aulus Plautius and Claudius in the Roman invasion of Britain in 43. In 68 it was stationed in Galia Narbonensis.
