Ninth Legionpull it on the timeline

Event

More properly known as the Roman Legio IX Hispana, the Ninth was a Roman legion from the late decades BCE until the early second century. Following its stationing in Roman Britain in the early second century, no reputable record remains of the legion's ultimate fate, resulting in the nickname of the "Lost Legion".
