New evidence for annihilation of Ninth Legion in Britain?

[jkaler48]

Here is my theory about how some Legions were "Lost". A Legion first suffers a serious defeat including the loss of an Eagle or mass desertions in the face of the enemy or other very poor performance in battle. The Legion is then transferred to a new area of the empire and reconstituted. If the reputation of the Legion has suffered badly enough good quality officers and recruits are hard to find and the rebuilding of the Legion as an effective unit is unsuccessful and the unit is then disbanded, merged with another unit, or reflagged" with a different designation.
