DecimusCaesar Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) I don't know of a III Scythia but there was a fourth. It was probably founded before 30 BC by Mark Antony, and it is often confused with the IV Sorana founded by Pansa in 43 BC. It served in Macedonia and Moesia and fought against the Scythians around 27 BC, where it got it's name. It was later re-constituted by Augustus. After this date it goes missing from AD 74 till it re-appears in Syria Coele province around AD 215.
