I mention the lost Ninth Legion. It was some 3 to 5,000 strong and stationed in England. It was supposedly a battle hardened unit. Well one day (I think 108 BC) they marched off towards the Pic area, now Scottland, and never seen again. It's become a hot subject and two movies are due to be released about it. Sounds like one of Mr. Cussler's daring adventures needs to find out the real truth.

I'm new here and probably posted this in the wrong area. If so I'm sorry, please don't send me off to join the 9th Legion.

Good idea, mike. I am myself very interested in that special thing. I envy my daughter who studies archeology and might be able to find out more....maybe....someday.

They may have been slaughtered in a battle in Scotland. Those Scots are not to be trifled with. They are a hardy bunch. w: p:
