Legio XIII (IVe)

About our Legio XIII on Bello Civili

The XIII Legion is a fictional legion fighting for the Optimates of Pompeii, raised from members of the renown IVe Corps d'Armée Français and thus is French speaking. The Legion was created upon the release of Bello Civili and aims to invest much time in the mod defending the Senate and People of Rome against the tyrant Julius Ceasar. In fighting for Pompeii we will crush all who oppose us. In giving members of the IVe a location within Bello Civilli we hope to re-enact well in shieldbattles using a Legatus, Aquilifer's and historical formations such as testudo's and shield walls. While providing a fun and friendly atmosphere we will not forget discipline and stamp out trolls like we will stamp out Ceasar!

Legio XIII real history :

The thirteenth legion was recruited by the Roman general Julius Caesar in 57 BCE, during the war in Gaul, before he attacked the Belgians. He implies the existence of a this unit in his account of the battle against the Nervians, describes how it encountered the Aremoricans and states that it was present during the siege of Gergovia. The blockade of Alesia in 52 must have been among this unit's first operations as well. During the civil war against Caesar's fellow-triumvir and rival Pompey the Great the men of the thirteenth legion were with Caesar when he crossed the Rubico in January 49. (Caesar, Civil War, 1.7-8; The Thirteenth was the legion with which, as the historian Livy said, Caesar assailed the world.) After the conquest of Italy, the legionaries stayed in Apulia for some time. In the winter of 49/48, however, they served at Dyrrhachium. After the decisive battle at Pharsalus, the soldiers were sent back to Italy to be pensioned off (Autumn 48), but in 46, they participated in Caesar's African campaign. They were probably also present during the battle of Munda (45). When Caesar's sole rule was safely established, the legion was disbanded and its veterans were given land at Spello in Italy.     A new thirteenth legion is mentioned after 41. This was probably not a new creation but a reconstitution of the old unit. However this may be, it was used by Julius Caesar's heir Octavian, who had to put an end to Sextus Pompeius' occupation of Sicily, which put the grain supply of Rome into peril. On one occasion, soldiers of the Thirteenth saved Octavian's life. When Pompeius was defeated, Octavian and his fellow-triumvir Mark Antony started a war, which culminated in the naval battle off Actium (31), where Octavian defeated his opponent and won the supremacy in the Mediterranean world. From now on, he was known as the emperor Augustus.
