Which seven legions did Crassus lose at Carrhae in 53BCE?
I have read over Plutarch and Dio's accounts, but they vague as to where the legions were raised or what there name and number was.
By comparison we know that it was the XVII, XVIII and XIX that were lost by Varus at Teutoburg Forest in 9CE.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
