The last member of the group in beautiful scale armour peers from behind his shield waiting for the command to go. Scale and chain mail armour were prevalent throughout the Imperial era, the Roman army was not as uniformed as Hollywood would like us to believe!
The 9th Hispana Legion were based in mainland Europe before moving to Britain following the Roman invasion in AD 43. Sometime after 108 AD, the legion disappeared from Roman records with some speculation that they were wiped out in Northern Britain. The 9th found fame in the novel 'Eagle of the Ninth', published in 1954, in which the Legion marched into Scotland "never to be heard of again."
