I'm looking forward to seeing the Bononia battle report.

When is the recruitment of Legio III going to begin? After this battle I believe TCV will have two battles under his belt and will be able to command it.

Actually, do we have to name the legions after a region? Or can we just think of good names, Legio III Rapax, Victrix, or after its target, gallica, germanica...? Regionlegions are boring by time

Propose it in the Senate see how many votes you get.

If we're playing historically accurate then the Romans named their legions after both regions and cool sounding stuff, so I don't see any problems with this.

I haven't checked the save but have my character moved to Ariminum already or is he still in a fort near Roma???

I always thought they named their legions with numbers. The X (10?) legion being the most popular, and most loved by Caesar.

@Ibn: the last time I saw Q.F. Licinius, he's already in ariminum

Thanks!

As far as I can remember then in the times of Republic they named legions with numbers only. Later, during imperial times they got these other names too.

Julius Caesar named a disgraced legion the Tenth while he was on campaign with Pompey. He gained control of this legion after they were forced to face decimation for fleeing from battle against Spartacus. When charged with decimation, every tenth man in the legion is selected to be beaten to death by his own comrades. Caesar called them the Tenth so that they would not run again for the shame. The numbered legions followed after that.

ya i read the story of the "Every Tenth man Discipline" very gruesome stuff...at times their own comrades were forced to beat them to death or face the sentence themselves.

In other news, this story is a load of crap with no historic accuracy at all

Legio III will be made as soon as Italia is united so until then TCVs avatar will continue to serve in his respective legion or can come back to Roma and await the completion of his men's training.

I sort of like the number and region think it makes for good roleplay in the future like (Latiums legions bring glory to Roma! Or they can be named after a city if they are proposed that way as well.)

Propose it in the Senate see how many votes you get.

What ever you guys propose as a name will be voted on so ya this may be done. There is still a CA that shows how the legion must be named so you will have to vote on changing that too if you want to get this done.

Really? Then perhaps it's time for me to stop lurking and start to actually play this game already!

Haha indeed, all in due time friend!

Same feelings here.
