Legio XIV Gemina
Legio quarta decima Gemina ("The Twins' Fourteenth Legion") was a legion of the Imperial Roman army, levied by Julius Caesar in 57 B.C. The ''cognomen'' ''Gemina'' (properly ''Geminia'' i.e. dedicated to the Gemini, Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, who were supposedly suckled by a she-wolf) The cognomen ''Victrix'' (victorious) was added by Augustus following their service in the Pannonian War c. A.D. 9. The emblem of the legion was the Capricorn,〔L. J. F. Keppie, ''Legions and Veterans: Roman Army Papers 1971–2000'', page 128.〕 as with many of the legions levied by Caesar,〔 or the crossed thunderbolts of Jupiter. At some point it also acquired the cognomen 'Martia'.
==Under Caesar==
The XIIII G.M.V was raised by Caesar in Cisalpine Gaul during his raids into, and conquest of, Gaul. Their enlistment term was for 16 years, as per the other legions (though Augustus raised that to 20). For years after the Massacre at Atuatuca,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Atuatuca: provincial town in Gallia Belgica, modern Tongeren )〕 they were viewed as an unlucky legion. They were frequently left behind to guard the camp during battles and raids.
