    That question REALLY shouldn't be necessary! Caesar's 10th Gemina (the name it received when it was amalgamated with other units by Octavian (later Augustus) after Actium) was known by Caesar as the X Equestris, after he chose to take one hundred of them as his mounted bodyguards to a meeting with a Germanic chieftain named Ariovistus, and were his favourite legion.

    If in doubt, it's Gemina - Caesar's famous 10th, and his favourite legion. Most people forget about the Fretensis.

    Nice, where did you find that pic? Is that siege of Masada or Jerusalem? The big walls on the background suggest siege of Jerusalem.

    I doubt he made it himself lol. Looks more like Angus McBride work. But who knows.
