It is not clear if this legion was a continuance of Caesar's beloved 10th Legion that he took as his own favoured Legion above all others. It was later called Gemina and believed created in 59 B.C. Malter argues 'The legio X Gemina, previously a Caesarian legion, joined Antony's forces after being reformed by Lepidus. They served in the east before the battle of Actium'. See note above.
