Roman Britain’s Missing Legion: Legio IX Hispana

Roman Britain’s Missing Legion: What Really Happened to Legio IX Hispana.

Legio IX Hispana had a long and active history, it being one of the key legions during the various campaigns of conquest in Britain and later founding York, from where it guarded the northern frontiers in Britain.
