Legio III ''Diocletiana'' was a ''comitatensis'' Roman legion, levied in 296 by Diocletian, from whom the legion took its name. The aim of this legion was to guard the newly re-organized province of Aegyptus, being based in Alexandria. It was created to support II ''Traiana Fortis'', and therefore it took the numeral III. During the 4th century, some ''vexillationes'' of the III ''Diocletiana'' were sent in the south of Egypt, in Thebes and Kom Ombo. Theodosius I sent soldiers from the north to III ''Diocletiana'' in Egypt, and Egyptian soldiers in Macedonia, forming the III ''Diocletiana Thebaeorum'', under the command of the ''Magister Militum per Thracias'' (''Notitia Dignitatum Orientis'', VIII). The shield pattern of III ''Diocletiana Thebaeorum'' was a red rose on white field. ==See also== *List of Roman legions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Legio III Diocletiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
