1 Why?
2 VIIII
3 VIIII / IX
4 Symbol unknown

[edit] Why?

Why isn't the idea of the Ninth falling at the hands of Pretanic peoples now accepted? It seems a rather bold statement.

[edit] VIIII

Maybe I missed something but should this be "Legio IX Hispana"? --Looper5920 12:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

--- I agree, it should be moved to Legio IX Hispana 194.17.229.129 13:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VIIII / IX

Both are possible. Both are used in inscriptions, for example on tombstones from legionaries of the legion. Roy 15:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

There is a related note in our article on Roman numerals. ~Kylu (u|t) 04:20, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

                    yes true both are valid but IX is more common and widely known also.....do you not see that it looks quite weird? [guest]  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.106.238.55 (talk) 19:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Symbol unknown

it says the symbol for the leigon was unknown, yet on the internet i have seen this.. it is part horse part fish(?) but not a seahorse because it has front legs.[1]--SalvoCalcio 07:18, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
