It sounds like they might still have been at Burnum?

Salve,
according to Farnum ("The positioning of the Roman Imperial Legions", BAR, 2005), legio XI was at Burnum (modern Kistanje) since 9 a.D until 69 a.D. when it moved to Italy and took part in the Batavian campaign.

The Batavian conflict was in Italy?
Weren't there 2 Leg XI? I,too,always heard Dalmatia,Moesia area,but I'm only a simple soldier and can't disagree with the Emperor :wink:
(it's often fatal).

Sorry for my english - I meant they moved to Italy and - then - they took part in the Batavian campaign, (they were then based at Vindonissa).
I think there was only one XI, but I may certainly be wrong.

It seems Burnum is the winner.I found this as well.....

This link shows a chart of Legions by number and Emperor.
A google search of Burnum showed some very nice pics of the amphitheater there and a little history.The dates of departure for XI CPF do seem to vary by a year or two.
Sorry,Nero. Your English is fine. I was attempting humor.
Did anyone check my link above,though.Apparently they were there,too
just a bit later.
