They are THE legion…!. (smile). Actually, I would say the Romans had THE legions. |

Respectfully, when I saw the subject line I immediately thought of the French Foreign Legion. Rome had their legions, Lauzun had a legion, but when you say "The Legion" there can be only one. |

More than confused from my part to put one thread about the Roman legions in the nineteenth century Board! (smile).
Not mention French Wagaming. But apart from this, for those who loves the legion (french) this is an interesting Archaeology link which shows the most famous legion fort. trailquestarchaeology.com Don't miss the themes in the right column. Hope you enjoy!. Amicalement

Interesting how people in foreign countries are interested in the French Foreign Legion, while most French people, although respectful for the Legion, are not very interested in it. Perhaps because Legion soldiers are foreigners! …except some of those who registered as "Belgians", of course :) |
