This Legion fights for the
Primo Polybian Exercitus
The Legio VI Victrix is a Rome at War Legion that is driven to give its players a Fun, Disciplined, and Historical experience in Rome at War. We heavily focus on the historical nature of how Roman legions were once used and implement it that best way possible into Rome at War mod. One of our main goals is to have a structured unit in which players from around the world can come and enjoy this great mod, we only do events on the weekends so that everyone has the same chances of attending and having a great time. In order to keep things historical we do use double rank drill, because Romans often were in multiple ranks and not just one, we also provide disciplined unit, of course this won't take away the fun but we don't like our members acting like morons while learning and fighting under our banner. If you think you have what it takes to be a true soldier of Rome and fight for her glory then sign up for the Legio VI Victrix!
In 119, Hadrian relocated the legion to northern Britannia, to assist the already present legions in quelling the resistance there. Victrix was key in securing victory, and would eventually replace the diminished IX Hispana at Eboracum. In 122 the legion started work on Hadrian's Wall which would sustain the peace for two decades.
Twenty years later, they helped construct the Antonine Wall, but it was largely abandoned by 164.
In 185, the British legions mutinied and put forward a commander of their own, named Priscus, to replace the unpopular Emperor Commodus, but the former declined. The mutiny was suppressed by Pertinax, who would later become emperor himself after Commodus was murdered.
In 175 The Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, defeats the Iazyges tribe of Alans otherwise known as Sarmatians. He takes them into Roman service and settles them in Northern Britain, at Ribchester, south of Lancaster. The Alans Cataphracts are assigned to the VI Legion Victrix, commanded by the Alani warlord who is renamed Lucius Artorius Castus.
The legion is mentioned in Robert Heinlein's novel Have Space Suit - Will Travel. and in the book From Scythia to Camelot By C. Scott Littleton and Linda A. Malcor
A modern reenactment group based in Los Angeles reenacts this legion.
