Legionary anecdotes?

[Shield And Spear Art]

One of my favorite stories comes from Cassius Dio, during Trajan's Parthian Campaign. A Centurion named Sentius went as an envoy to Adenystrae, where he was imprisoned. When the Roman Army marched towards the stronghold, Sentius organized his fellow prisoners and broke out of jail, killed the garrison commander and opened the gates for the Romans.

Cassius Dio, book LXVIII: 22
