The IXth Legion Hispana wasn't lost in Britain. After York, there is evidence that it moved onto Nijmegen Holland (IXth legion tile stamps have been found there for example). It then moved onto the eastern empire and was destroyed out there. It's just that after Rosemary Sutcliff's book everyone seems to think it was lost in the mists; just shows how influential fiction is.
