Primus Pilus Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 The following legions were all based in the general area at some point. Legio I Adiutrix Legio II Adiutrix Legio I Italica and Legio IV Flavia Felix Legio XI Claudia Legio VII Claudia Legio XIII Gemina Legio VII Claudia is probably the best example. From the early until mid 1st century AD it was based in Burnum, Dalmatia (roughly modern Kistanje). It then moved to Viminacium, Moesia or modern Kostolac in eastern Serbia. There it stayed roughly until the fall of the western empire. Legio VII was involved in the final conquest of Illyria under Augustus, and played a major role in Trajan's conquest of Dacia. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
