Roman Britain's Missing Legion
Legio IX Hispana had a long and active history, later founding York from where it guarded the northern frontiers in Britain. The mystery of their disappearance has inspired debate and imagination for decades. But the last evidence for its existence in Britain comes from AD 108.
What if IX Hispana took part in a rebellion, leading to their punishment, disbandment and damnatio memoriae (official erasure from the records)? The most popular theory, immortalized in Rosemary Sutcliffe's novel The Eagle of the Ninth, is that the legion was sent to fight the Caledonians in Scotland and wiped out there.But more recent archaeology (including evidence that London was burnt to the ground and dozens of decapitated heads) suggests a crisis, not on the border but in the heart of the province, previously thought to have been peaceful at this time. This proposed 'Hadrianic War'
