Full History of the LEGIO VIIII "Hispana":

One of Caesar's oldest and most experienced Legions that played a big role in immortalizing him through History with numerous victories. It played a big role in both Civil Wars and was an important building block in transitioning Rome into one of the biggest Empires of History. The 9th was a building block for other Legions too, as Caesar was known to spread their skill by transferring veteran Centurions into other Legions, such as his favored 10th "Equestris".

This Legion played a role in securing almost every major Roman Province: Gaul, Hispania, Britannia, Africa; silencing threatening revolts in each one. It would then come to a very mysterious end; never being spoken of or mentioned again...
