    Isn’t there a story of this one legion that was decimated many times over? You seem knowledgeable about this, please inform me :)

    Also: I can’t even imagine the punishment it must be to even draw lots over who will be executed…

      Not to my immediate recollection, though I’m no professional. Might be one out there, though if there is, they probably lost any distinguishing titles they had (such as Legio I Augusta losing ‘Augusta’ after a humiliating defeat against Iberian peoples).
