Hi
Have a question regarding the Roman navy . The Classis Misenensis & Classis Ravennatis were called "Praetorian". This was awarded by Vespasian in 69 AD. Does this mean that they had the right to wear the scorpio like the other Praetorian Guard units ?
Legio I Adiutrix was formed in 68 AD out of marines from the Classis Misenensis. Legio II Adiutrix was in 70 AD formed by Vespasian out of the Classis Ravennatis. Since the parent units were called "Praetorian", did these legions get this right too and did they had the right to wear the scorpio too?
tnx!
