Roman Britain's Missing Legion: What Really Happened to IX Hispana? by Simon Ell

Description: Roman Britain's Missing Legion by Simon Elliott Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Casts new light on an old mystery that has fascinated for decades: the apparent disappearance of legio IX Hispana in 108 (the last inscription bearing their name) or shortly after. Publisher Description Legio IX Hispana had a long and active history, later founding York from where it guarded the northern frontiers in Britain. But the last evidence for its existence in Britain comes from AD 108. The mystery of their disappearance has inspired debate and imagination for decades. The most popular theory, immortalized in Rosemary Sutcliffes novel The Eagle of the Ninth, is that the legion was sent to fight the Caledonians in Scotland and wiped out there. But more recent archaeology (including evidence that London was burnt to the ground and dozens of decapitated heads) suggests a crisis, not on the border but in the heart of the province, previously thought to have been peaceful at this time. What if IX Hispana took part in a rebellion, leading to their punishment, disbandment and damnatio memoriae (official erasure from the records)? This proposed Hadrianic War would then be the real context for Hadrians visit in 122 with a whole legion, VI Victrix, which replaced the vanished IX as the garrison at York. Other theories are that it was lost on the Rhine or Danube, or in the East. Simon Elliott considers the evidence for these four theories, and other possibilities.
