“II Augusta * IX Hispana * XIV Gemina * XX Valeria
The II Augusta was raised by Octavian to fight in the civil wars and won battle honors in Spain and on the German frontier before joining the army that conquered Britain in 43 AD. Despite a troubled time during Boadicea’s 60 AD rebellion, it remained one of the principal garrison legions of Britannia. The IX Hispana was raised by Pompey, fought under both Caesars but was destroyed in 161 fighting the Parthians in the east. The XIV Gemina was raised by Caesar for the conquest of Gaul, fought all over Britain in the years after the conquest and won the title ‘Martia Victrix’ during Boadicea’s revolt before being moved back across the Channel to garrison the Batavian frontier. The XX Valeria was the British legion par excellence, with its garrison headquarters at Chester and the boar as its emblem. Raised by Augustus, it won its name and title ‘Valeria Victrix’ during the conquest of Yugoslavia, after which it was selected by the Emperor Claudius for his conquest of Britain.”

Continuing with the current set of posts, here is a lesson plan on the Roman Republic. As above and below, this is the third lesson of ten in a unit on Rome.
This lesson opens with this context clues worksheet on patrician as a noun and an adjective; in the event the lesson goes into a second day (I think, again as above and below, I designed all these lessons to last across two days so that I could use the time to assess students’ working and long-term memory), here’s another on the adjective plebeian. Both of these worksheets, needless to say, introduce students to a couple of words that are both germane to the study of ancient Rome, as well remaining in general usage in educated discourses.
And here is the worksheet with its readings and comprehension questions that is the primary work of this lesson.
