Below is an article I was given in Italian about the 10th Fretensis. I translated it.

Legio X Fretnesis

<<Legionaries Tied to the Sea>>

Symbols or Insignia used by X Fretensis: Trireme, Bull, Boar, Neptune

Was (Fretensis) most certainly or assuredly part of Octavian’s army in which it fought in the maritime war or conflict against Sextus Pompey in 38-36 B.C. Its name (Fretensis) signifies or is defined as “belonging to a sea straitâ€
