Quote:So he's got nothing that proves a Spanish origin for the Tenth?
The proof is simple. Caesar was governor of Gallia Cisalpina. His soldiers had the Roman citizenship, so they were recruited in either Italy or in Cisalpina itself. When Caesar recruited V Alaudae and VI Fretensis, he certainly took his men from Cisalpina (it's mentioned somewhere in Appian.)
