Legio X Equestris
Who are we?Legio X Equestris, or 10th Legion Mounted in English is a Cavalry / Infantry group for the Roman Civil War mod "Bello Civili". We're North American based and we speak English.
Though age is not a requirement we are a mature group (though not excessively serious).

The history of Legio X EquestrisLegio X Equestris was levied sometime in 61BC by Julius Caesar when he was still the governor of Hispania Ulterior. The Legion earned its nickname "Equestris" one day when Caesar met with the Germanic King Ariovistus to discuss peace. Ariovistus demanded that each leader be accompanied by a regiment of horsemen, knowing full well that Caesar's cavalry consisted almost entirely of Germanic tribesmen who weren't very enthusiastic about Rome. To combat this he had legionaries of the 10th mount and accompany him to the peace talks.
Throughout Caesar's wars of conquest Legio X becames his most trusted legion. When the Roman Civil War broke out the Legion did not hesitate to support Julius Caesar and they fought by his side bravely.
The Legion participated in the following battles and conflicts throughout its history:
The Gallic Wars
The Battle against the Nervians
The Battle of Carrhae
The Battle of Gergovia
The Battle of Ilerda

The Battle of Pharsalus
