Different Legions of the Same Number?

[Praefectusclassis]

Well, where do we start?<br>
For names and (sadly still mostly barebone) articles on all the legions, check out ROMANARMY.COM! (The Legions -> Unit Histories). It shows a list of all the legions and the first few have been fleshed out.<br>
<br>
As for reading, there's a whole host of books, but among the more accessible are:<br>
- Webster, G., The Roman Imperial Army of the First and Second Centuries A.D. (3rd ed.; Oklahoma 1998)<br>
- Evans, R.F., Soldiers of Rome (Cabin John, Maryland/Washington DC 1986)<br>
- Parker, H.M.D., The Roman Legions (1928, reprint Chicago 1980)<br>
- Le Bohec, Y. The Imperial Roman Army (Eng.ppb.ed.; New York 2000)<br>
<br>
Very thorough, very old and in parts outdated, is Ritterling's article in Pauly-Wissowa's Real-Encyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft under the heading Legio. It's in German however!<br>
