Re-enactment survey

[Peroni]

I'm trying to remember which town it was (Turin I think).

Yep! Tacitus 'Histories' [2,66]

The legionary soldier was a lodger of the workman. It did turn to bloodshed, but a fierce battle was avoided by the arrival of the two cohorts of guards, who sided with the XIIIIth.

Probably caused by the XIIIIth not accepting that they were defeated at the first battle of Bedriacum by a unit of Batavians! :lol: Complaining that there had only been a detachment of them there (Righto!) :wink:

Vitellius gave orders that the Batavians should be attached to his army as a mark of their fidelity, whilst the XIIIIth were marched over the Graian Alps.

The fires that partly destroyed Turin were started by the XIIIIth as they started out on their march.
