Los inicios y primeras localizaciones de la Legio II Traiana Fortis

The early Imperial Roman legions were military units with great mobility which were required to move quickly wherever their emperor ordered and therefore some of them were not assigned to a definite camp for a long time. We analyze and discuss the possible early whereabouts of Legio II Traiana Fortis , the strong second Trajan’s legion, a legion which, until its definite settlement in Egypt, was garrisoned in Judea. By analyzing current archaeological and epigraphical evidence, we conclude in which exact year it was transferred to Judea and which legions were displaced in Egypt and the Middle East during the first years of Hadrian’s reign.
