Roman Legion Symbols Found in Ancient Cave
#6
Here is the only photo I have been able to find of that Roman legionary symbol:
[Image: legion-pennant.jpg]
It is added that "It is assumed that this is the pennant of the Roman Legion that was present in the region". That would be X Fretensis: but its symbols are a warship, a dolphin, the god Neptune, and a boar. At some stage, VI Ferrata appears on the scene: bull and wolf-with-twins. In Arabia Petraea, we find III Cyrenaica (symbol unknown); in Syria, III Gallica (bull). So, what do we think of this symbol?
