Ancient Celts ~ 9th Legion

**Please Read**

Legio IX Hispana (Ninth Spanish Legion) was a Roman legion, which operated from the first century BCE until mid 2nd century CE. The legion was raised, along with the 6th, 7th and 8th, by Pompey in Hispania in 65 BCE.[2] Julius Caesar first commanded them as Governor of Further Spain in 61 BCE. He brought them over to Gaul around 58 BCE, where they were present during the whole campaign of the Gallic wars. The Spanish Legion's disappearance has raised speculations over its fate, largely of its alleged destruction in Scotland in about 117 CE, though some scholars believe it was destroyed in the Roman-Parthian Wars or during the Bar Kokhba Revolt of CE 132--136. There is no evidence of what happened to the famous Legion, as it simply drops out of records around early second century CE. The last concrete information of its whereabouts is in 107-108 CE, where they are mentioned being stationed to help rebuild the legionary fortress at York (Eburacum). There exists no concrete evidence at this time that either theory on the fate of the legion is correct or otherwise. A deadly ambush by the Picts in present day Caledonia, Scotland (north of Hadrian's Wall) is the most popular theory of how the 9th legion met its demise.

I understand that many people quarrel on the subject of whether or not the Picts were Celtic. In this video I am suggesting that they were a Celtic tribe, due to the fact that they originated from numerous Celtic tribes present in the Caledonia region during the late Iron Age.
