02 Trajan's 2nd Strong Roman Legion Eagle T-shirt

This Legion was founded in 105 by Emperor Trajan to be used as reinforcements for his ongoing Dacian Campaigns of the time. It's likely that after his Dacian conquests the Legion was sent to the Danube. It then fought in Trajan's campaigns against the Parthians in 115-17, and was afterwards stationed at Judaea, then Alexandria. It fought in Hadrians campaigns against the Jews in 132-36, and then was stationed as the main force in and around Egypt. In 175 the Legion served under the unsuccessful rebel General Cassius, and in 194 it ended up supporting Lucius Severus and became his "King-maker" Legion. In 213 it served under Caracalla against the Germanic Alamanni, and eventually returned to Egypt in 260, where it was still present during the 5th century AD.
