Legio XIII is one of the most famous Roman legions, thanks to its steadfast support of Julius Caesar from its foundation in circa 57 BC. In 49 BC it crossed the Rubicon river in northern Italy with Caesar, igniting the sequence of civil wars that doomed the Roman Republic and placed Caesar and his heirs in power. Antony's thirteenth was built around a core of veterans from Caesar's unit and was conjoined with Octavian's after Actium to form Legio XIII Gemina of imperial fame.
