One of the most legendary legions in the history of the Roman military was the Legio IX (nonam) Hispana, or the Ninth Spanish Legion.

They served under Pompey the Great and later with Julius Caesar in Gaul. They later served Augustus and were pivotal in the conquest of Britain under Emperor Claudius. 

Then at some point, they simply disappeared. There was never a mention of them again in the historical record. 

For almost 2000 years, it has been one of the world’s greatest historical mysteries. 

Learn more about the missing Legion and what might have happened to them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
