Of the highest historical importance, Roman Legion Legio IV Scythica Ring w/COALegio IV Scythica ("Scythian Fourth Legion"), also written as Legio IIII Scythica,[1] was a legion of the Imperial Roman army founded in c. 42 BCE by the Roman general Mark Antony, for his campaign against the Parthian Empire, hence its other cognomen, Parthica. The legion was still active in the Roman province of Syria in the early 5th century.The Legio IV Scythica was founded by the Roman general Mark Antony after 42 BCE.[1] It is unknown where the legion was first stationed, although Syria is a possibility.[1] If that is the case, the legion most likely took part in Mark Antony's campaign against the Parthians.[1] The name Scythica implies that it fought the Scythians.[1] The Scythians were a group of nomadic tribes located near a Roman city named Olbia.[1] The Scythians also occasionally tried to cross the Danube.[1] This makes it very likely the Legion defeated one of the Scythian tribes in a battle.[1]The legion disappeared from Roman historiographical sources after 219 CE, when their commander, Gellius Maximus, rebelled against Emperor Elagabalus and proclaimed himself Emperor, but was defeated.[1] However, according to Notitia Dignitatum (XXXIII), in the early 3rd century, the IV Scythica was still active in Roman Syria, camped in Orese. It is possible this legion participated in the campaigns of Severus Alexander and Odaenathus against the Sassanids.
