Kalkriese has nothing to do with the Teutoburg battles
#26
Salve caiustarquitius,

Quote:Which means M. Aius from the first legion of the fabricii (Legio I often referred her name to Gaius Fabricius Luscinus, who fought Pyrrhus, Legio I lost that name only when she came into Augustus "posession" after he had defeated Marcus Antonius)

Do you have a reference for the assertion that this legion often referred her name to Gaius Fabricius Luscinus?

I could neither find this in Ritterling nor could I find any inscriptions of this type in the usual online epigraphic databases (I must admit that I am not good at database searches). It would appear quite astonishing for an Imperial legion to refer back to a Republican hero more than 200 years oider, I would think.

Thank you!
