Summary: Ok, I'll be the first to admit this one is a little confusing. After all, the whole mystery is more than a little confusing. So here is a list of the bits of evidence we're talking about.<br> <br> <br> * The Ninth was nearly destroyed in a night assault by the Caledonians during Agricola's northern campaign.<br> * The last known battle the Ninth was in was Mons Graupius.<br> * 108 AD, The Ninth built a gate at Eboracum (York).<br> * Post 117 AD (probably 119 to 121) there was a major rebellion in Britannia.<br> * 80's AD or 121 AD, there were tiles at Nijmegen (Holland) stamped by the Ninth.<br> * Tiles similar to those were also found at Carlisle.<br> * A tombstone at Ferentinum references an emergency in Britannia that required 3,000 reinforcements.<br> * 122 AD, Hadrian traveled to Britannia to "correct many faults" and he brought with him the Sixth Legion.<br> * The Sixth legion took the post of Eboracum, which was the Ninth's post. No mention is made of where the Ninth went.<br> * 142 AD, Governor Carus, who served with the Ninth, became the Governor of Arabia.<br> * Frontinus writes to Emperor Aurelius reminding him how his grandfather (Hadrian) suffered a major loss of troops to the Jews and the Britons.<br> * 162 AD, the Aurelian columns don't list the Ninth or Twenty Second legions.<br> * The Twenty Second probably served in the Jewish wars and the Ninth was stationed in Britannia.<br> <br> <br> That should just about cover it.<br> <br> Oh, and The Eagle is not a good film.<br> <br> (History of Britain, History of England, History of Wales, History of Scotland, Celtic History, Roman History)<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/show-your-support" rel="payment">Support the Show</a>
