Of all the Roman legions, Legio X is perhaps the most famous. It was the favorite of Julius Caesar during the conquest of Gaul, and served at times as his personal bodyguard, playing a key role in the Civil Wars against Pompey, including the decisive battle of Munda in 45 BC. Antony’s Legio X proved so loyal to him that Octavian disbanded the unit and replaced it with his own Legio X Gemina (twin).
