[1457]
This legion is a creation of Augustus, but was already assigned to him during the (second) triumvirate, perhaps
directly after the battle of Philippi. An especially narrow relationship of the legion with its founder and warlord would
be that of its eagle, which is based on two inscriptions from Isca ( Haverfield, Ephem. epigr.
IX p.527), fell on the same birthday of Augustus, 23 September. The Pegasus and Capricorn appear both as coat-of-arms on several
monuments next to each other (see also 1373, 31ff). At the same time the position of the single picture is by all means not
certain, on the right side of the inscription of the vexillum one finds the Pegasus and the Capricorn (CIL VII 517, 519, 522,
617, 969, 1136, Ephem. Epigr. VII 989). If one would look at the question on which
of both pictures (Capricorn and Pegasus) was the actual legion's-mark, one would decide that the picture of the Pegasus appears
nowhere previously on its own, while that of the Capricorn (see coins of Carausius (Cohen VII 16 nr. 132) Arch Aeliana III Serie Bd. III 1907, 223), on the bronze disk with the animal agitation CIL XV 7164) here as
counterpart of the boar of Legio XX also on the relief disk from the time of Antoninus Pius (CIL VII 1130) under the eagle)
appears as the mark of the legion. Because of this, one is allowed to give the Capricon the precedence before the eagle.
It
would not be surprising if the natalis aquilae of the legion would actually coincide
with the birthday of Augustus. That Legio II already fought during the siege of Perusia in the army of the later Augustus,
can't be proven because of the unreliability of the reading of the inscription (CAESAR LEG II) in the magazine Ephem. Epigr. VI p.60 nr 66, 4. But veterans of Legio II were settled in the veteran's colony Arausio in Narbonensis
by Augustus between 35 and 33 BC ( Kornemann o. Bd. & V S. 529 nr.95). Also before the battle of Actium, or directly after
this, the colony Iulia Gemella Acci in Spain was founded by soldiers of II (Augusta) & and I (Augusta) who settled there.
In how far the colony Iulia Gemella Parium in Mycene also received settlers of this Augustan Legio II (on coins of Gallienus
appear the Legion-numbers II and VII (Eckhel II p.362) remains to be seen. At the latest since the reorganization of the
empire after the year 30 BC, Legio II was assigned to the Spanish army of Provincia Ulterior ( Kornemann Festschrift & Hirchfeld; 1903 S.229f) were it took part in the heavy fighting, defeating the freedom loving
Spanish mountain people. Legio II is named on only a few monuments in Spain; these are usually mutilated, damaged or have
been interpreted in such a way that their historical use does not seem completely accurate (CIL II 266. 985. 5053. Ephem. Epigr. IV p.16 to nr. 2480). An exception to this is the gravestone in Barcino of a veteran of the legion,
who probably belonged to the veterans who were settled there when the colony was founded by Augustus. The Augustian colony
Cartenna, which is located at the North coast of Mauretania and is also considered a part of Spain, was also occupied by veterans
of the Spanish Legio II (Plin. N. H. V 20 & Cartenna Colonia Augusti Legio Secunda).
If it is permissible to place the inscription CIL II 4616 in the time of Augustus, this would give us another clue for the
story of Legio II in Spain. Because Marcius Q. Optatus was the first census official in his home city (?) of Iluro, and connects
the military tribunes of Legio II with the Praefecture of Asturia. Legio II seems to have been in the North of the country
at that time. Unfortunately the text of the inscription is not verifiable because of the suspicion of an error in the interpretation.
In coordination with the rebuilding of the Rhine armies after the Varus catastrophe, Legio II was recalled from Spain in AD
10 and its exercitus superior was in line with the Rhine boundary. It is first mentioned here in the year AD 14 (Tac. Ann I 37). It is not known where the legion held its winter quarters at that time. It may
have been at Mainz if the already existing and previous garrisons, Legio XIIII and XVI, had not yet moved to their camp on
the Kaumlstrich. A second double camp may have been erected for the newly arrived Legions II Augusta and XIII, possibly on
the hills above the current Weisenau. From these first years of its presence at the Rhine a gravestone (CIL XIII 7234) was
found in Mainz of a soldier from the legion, erected by his comrades. The usage of the common aera instead of the stipendia,
especially in Spain shows us that these comrades, as well as the deceased, must naturally have participated in the transfer
of the legion from Spain to the Rhine. The legion has obviously participated in the expeditions of Germanicus.
[1459] It is specifically mentioned in the retreat in the year AD 15, when a spring tide at the North Sea coast
put the legion together with leg. XIIII into danger (Tac. Ann. I 70). The clustering
of 4 legions at Mainz must have reached its end at the latest after the recall of Germanicus in the year AD 17. Leg.II had
henceforth its winter quarters in Argentorate (Strasbourg) where a number of gravestones of its soldiers stood along the street
of the necropolis to Königshofen (CIL XIII 5976. 5977. 5978, furthermore, although the leg. itself is not mentioned, 11628.
11629). The Spanish veteran of leg II, L. Autronius Silo, from Norba - not from Norba in Italy as Seeck Rh.Mus.XLVIII 603 claims – is also buried here. In the proximity of the Karthause cloister were the kilns
in which teams of the leg. produced the necessary brick material. Although these (bricks) weren’t given a stamp yet,
which was the custom at that time, 4 cm high letters LEC II have been inscribed in a brick for a hypocaust pillar by means
of a sharp tool (pen?) before being fired ( Westd.Ztschr. XXIV 330). A soldier
from the legion had died in the territory of the Santones in Aquitania, far removed from the winter quarters. This soldier
belonged to a unit of the Upper Rhine army which was posted here in the time of Tiberius (CIL XIII 1122, with the Bonn.Jahrb.
CXIV/ V 173 corrected text CIL XIII 4 p.10). Also from this time is the tombstone from Asberg for the wife of a veteran from
the II Aug. Why this veteran from the Upper-Rhine legion, who almost certainly comes from Italy, would choose this small location
at the lower-Rhine remains speculative. L. Martius got his military tribunate already in Germany in the last years of Tiberius
or under Caligula (CIL XI 1835). A few years later - in the year AD 42 – the future emperor Vespasian was given
the post of legate of the legion II Aug. at the Rhine (Suet. Vesp. 4, Tac. Hist. III, Josheph. Bell Iud. III 1. 2). Whether he (Vespasian) could
have participated with his legion with the actions, which were started by the army commander Sulpicius Galba, under Caligula
and Claudius, against the Germans, is doubtful. But in another theatre of war he led his legion gloriously from victory to
victory. Leg. II was part of the army for the conquest of Britain, which was transported to the island in the year AD
43. This fact is attested by Suet. Vesp.4: “legatus legionis in Germaniam missus
est, inde in Brittaniam translatus”, compared with Tac. Hist. III 4; also the
inscription of an ob bellum Brittanic(um) by an officer, who was decorated by
Claudius, and who was praef. Castror. Leg. II Aug. in Brittania (CIL
III 6809), proves the participation of II Aug. in the campaign of AD 43. The share of the legion in the occupation and
the single level of its advance in the Southwest of the island has been clearly presented by Teuber 57-68.
[1460] After that its first camp was probably at Durocornovium, then since the year AD 49 at Glevum. Finally,
probably first under the new governor Sex. Iulius Frontinus, the predecessor of Agricola, the camp was moved to Isca Silurum (Caerleon) (proven by archaelogical finds, see Haverfield Ephem.epigr.IX
p.526), where it remained for centuries. The legion would probably have encountered the large uprising of the Britons in the
year AD 61, in which it found no opportunity to distinguish itself in contrast to XIII and XX (Tac. Ann XIV 37), at its camp at Glevum. From approximately this time comes the bars of lead with the stamp “NERONIS
AVG BRITAN L(egionis) II” (CIL XIII 3491), which probably come from the mines of Somerset (Teuber 60) and were found
in Northern France, and are testament to the mountainous activity of its teams. The legion sent a vexillum to join
the emperor Vitellius, who was acknowledged by the British legions during his march to Italy, where it was specifically mentioned
in the following battle (Tac. Hist. III 22). After the defeat and death of Vitellius
the legion II was at the front line who, in memory of the long and glorious leadership of its legate, recognized Vespasian
as emperor in Britain, which it enforced against the considerable resistance of the two other legions (Tac. Hist. III 44). The legion has left no monuments, except from the aforementioned bars of lead, in the time
before the installation of its winter camp at Isca. The legion in Isca is also mentioned by Ptolemaios. II 3, 13 ‘Ίσχα
έν ή λεγίων β’ σεβαστή. The relation
of Isca Dumnoniorum with Isca Silurum is manifested by Ptolemaios (see: Kubitschek Jahrb
f. Altertumsk. VI 1912, 206b) and in Itin. Ant. p.484, 4 Isca leg. II
Augusta. The monuments of militairy character which were found here, are without exception related to leg.II, even when the
legion is not mentioned because no other legion was garrisoned here to our knowledge. From the camp constructions comes, along
with numerous stamped brick material (CIL VII 1222a; Ephem. Epigr.IX 1268d), the Centurion
stone from Isca, see CIL VII 109-116. Ephem. Epigr. III 62, VII 848, IX 1017, 1018.
A rebuilding of the centuriae, the barracks of the troops, by the VII cohort of the legion during Valerian and Gallienus,
between AD 253 and 259, mentions the building inscription CIL VII 107. From the standards sanctuary comes the devotional inscription
genius leg. II Aug. in honorem [aquilae] from the primuspilus (CIL VII 103= Ephem.
epigr. III p.117=IX p.527). Its monthly date, 23 sept. 244, is perhaps not without meaning because it returns
on the monument (CIL VII 104 = Ephem. Epigr. IX p.527) in the year 234. The supposition
of Haverfields that this day on this last monument is the dies natalis of the legion’s eagle is supported by many.
(s.o.). The construction of the new Praetorium probably took place under Septimius Severus (CIL VII 106).
[1461] A tribute to an emperor with the name M. Aurelius Antoninus, perhaps Marcus Aurelius shows the release
and appointments of the troops (CIL VII 105). A legate of the legion from the time of Marcus (Aurelius) and (Lucius) Verus
or Septimius Severus honours the dolichenus (CIL VII 98 = Ephem. Epigr. IX p.526),
another from the third century the rebuilding of a temple to Diana (CIL VII 95). Probably from the bathhouse of the legion
comes an altar devoted to Fortuna from a Praefectus castrorum (CIL VII 96). Another
Praefectus P. Sallienus Thalamus established an altar (CIL VII 100, 101) during Septimius
Severus. A member of the legion whose unit is unknown, was a worshipper of Mithras (CIL VII 99). In other cases, several tombstones
of soldiers (CIL VII 118, 119, 121, 125, 126, Ephem. Epigr. III nr.64, VII nr.846)
and of veterans (CIL VII 120, 122, 123) from the legion have been found in Isca. Outside the winter camp were traces of
activity found in the direct scene of operations of the legion, the southern part of Wales ( Haverfield, Military aspects p.119): a brick stamp in Caer (CIL VII 1222 b.i.k.), Abergavenny (1222c), Usk ( Ephem. Epigr. IV nr.693), from the latter part also comes a mutilated inscription in stone
( Ephem. IV 671 = IX p.530). The appearance of bricks in Caerwent is also not
conspicuous ( Ephem. Epigr. IX 1268c). Whether many centurion stones from the area
can be related to legion II or XX, remains doubtful (see the stone from Tomen-y-Mur and Llanio, Ephem.epigr.
IX p.531). Just as whether legion II is mentioned in the last line in the inscription of Trajan in Gellygaer ( Ephem. Epigr. IX 1031), as Haverfield suspects. There is a remarkable occurrence of bricks on the South coast
of England in Seaton ( Ephem. Epigr. IX p.645 nr.1268a). That they only could have
reached this place during the time of the occupation is a subject to consider (see Haverfield). Inscriptions which have
been found at other places in Southern England, like London and Bath, explain themselves by the type of the finding place.
In London, the seat of the governor, soldiers which were posted at this officium, had died there (CIL VII 24), two speculators,
23 miles) or moved to London after their release of service ( Ephem epigr. VII nr.816).
A centurio of II Aug. (CIL VII 42) was visiting the well regarded therapeutic baths. A soldier who had died in the Northern
Legions’ camp of Deva who belonged to II Aug. ( Ephem. Epigr. IX nr.1072) would
have only lingered there whilst marching through. A centurion of the legion was transferred to XX of Deva and had died in
that post ( Ephem. Epigr. VII nr.903). The numerous monuments of the legion or
associates in Northern Britain were erected on the occasion of major campaigns which were accompanied with lively constriction
activity. The major campaign which first springs to mind is Hadrian’s war under A. Platorius Nepos around the year 119
with the rebuilding of the wall and its forts.
[1462] Another enterprise under Antoninus Pius around the year 143 ends with the erection of the Antonine wall
by L.Ulpius Marcellus. A large uprising of the Brigantes around the year 158 was struck down by Cn. Iulius Verus, but seems
to have continued until the year 162. The fortunately ended enterprise of L.Ulpius Marcellus around the year 184. Finally
the war of 208-211 which was personally commanded by Septimius Severus and his sons during which the Northern defences were
reorganised and the old wall of Hadrian restored. Because the single monuments can’t be dated exactly, the list here
faces more points of view. They are either a dedication to the ruling emperor which at the same time highlighted the construction
activity of the troops, or they are simply building blocks with the name of the troops. They could also be votive inscriptions
of troops and centurions of the legion, the latter either as leader of a detachment of legionnaires or as a Praepositi of
an auxilia unit who were locally active. Gravestones of troops who had died during the expedition or the construction activity
are very isolated. Of the latter, one is found in Ilkley, west of Eburacum, buried at the major road leading to the North
( Ephem epigr. III 76 = VII nr.921). Another one at the important depot and intersection
Cobridge = Corstopitum (Nowadays the best guess is that it’s called Coriosopitum, or even just Corio. SMcE) ( Ephem. Epigr. VII 991). A third all the way up North at the Antonine wall in Auchindavy
(CIL VII 1118). The monuments at Hadrian’s wall go up until the time of the first construction: like CIL VII 660-663
at Borcovicium, and 713 at Vindolana, 961 at Netherby. Construction- and votive inscriptions have been found at the South
of Hadrians wall: in Elenfoot, construction documents of the vexillatio leg II Aug. et XX victr. (CIL VII 401), in Chester
1e Street (CIL VII 452, 455), in Corbridge (CIL VII 474, Ephem. Epigr. VII 989, 990,
IX nr.1380, probably also 1382?). On the Tyne bridge inscriptions of three British legions’ vexillations, who were composed
of troops from the Rhine legions around the year 158 ( Ephem. Epigr. IX nr.1163).
Along the wall in Segedunum (CIL VII 487, probably also the adjoining centurion stone 488-491), in Condercum (CIL VII 517,
518, 519, 520, 521a, 521b, 522), in Vindobala (CIL VII 545), in Hunnum (or Onnum) (CIL VII 562, 562a), in Cilurnum (CIL VII
584). Under Pius, whether also the centurion stone 597-611?), in Vercovicium (CIL VII 622, 637, Ephem.
Epigr. IX nr.1177), in Vindolana (CIL VII 717), in Amboglanna (Camboglanna is modern Castlesteads. Here Ritterling
may be referring to the often-misnamed fort of Banna, modern Birdoswald. This seems to be the most likely explanation
as Birdoswald was referred to as Camboglanna until fairly recently, SMcE) (CIL VII 800, 840, 841, 850, see 899. Eph. Ep. IX nr.1388a b), in Petriannae (?) (CIL VII 898, 899, 912b), in Congavata (also
Concavata, modern Drumburgh) (?) (CIL VII 914 see Eph. Ep. III p.136, CIL VII 921),
in Drumburgh (problem, Drumburgh’s already mentioned) (CIL VII 946), in Castlesteads ( Eph.
Ep. IX 1217), in Netherby (CIL VII 964 vexil. Leg. II Aug. and XX, probably under Elagabalus, 969), lastly in Bewcastle
(CIL VII 979, probably also 978 under Hadrian?). Centurions as leader of auxilia cohorts ( Ephem.
Epigr. VII 1071, IX nr.1157).
[1463] The centurion, who had an altar erected in Condercum pro salute to the emperor Antoninus Pius et leg.
II Aug(ustae) (CIL VII 506), probably commanded a detachment of the legion which was employed at the construction of the wall.
Such detachments (‘milites‘) repeatedly appear as founders in sanctuaries, like: CIL VII 637 to Iupiter Optimus
Maximus, CIL VII 800 and Ephem. Epigr. IX nr.1177 to the Deus Cocidius, and to Mars
Cocidius, the second centurion of the troops (VII 914). These detachments describe themselves in Ephem. Epigr. IX 1177 as agentes in praesidio. The votive and construction
inscriptions of II Aug. at the Antonine wall were all issued during the first construction under Lollius Urbicus, like CIL
VII 1086, 1088, 1117, 1123, 1125, 1126, 1127, 1128, 1130, 1136, 1138, 1139 (the latter made by the vex. of II Aug. and XX
V V). Detachments of II Aug. and VI Victrix set up an altar for Fortuna in Castlecary (CIL VII 1093), just the same as the
four altars in Auchindavy of the centurion M. Cocceius Firmus (CIL VII 1111-1114). How the inscription in the rock of
a centurion of the legion at Craweduntaile, south from Hadrian’s wall, as well as the stamped brick of II Aug at Luguvallium
are relevant to the fate and the utilization of the legion, remains unknown. The legion was apparently never used outside
the province. The participation of vexillations in different expeditions at the Rhine, Danube and in the Orient is on the
other hand probably, if only in rare cases been proven. The (still) British legion II Aug dispatched a vexillation to the
Chattii war at the Rhine of Domitian in the year 83. This is specifically mentioned on a brickstamp of Mirebeau ( Österr.Jahresh. VII 1904 beibl. 25f nr.3 and 4) and appears accordingly under the 9 legions vexillations of
the Upper-German and British army (Dessau 9200), who were commanded by Velius Rufus. This Chattii war can’t however
be identical with the expeditio germanica mentioned on the gravestone in Isca (CIL VII 126) in which this member of the legion
was killed, because the inscription is dated at the earliest to the second century. Perhaps we are dealing here with the Germanic
war of Caracalla in the year 213 (see Abschn., see also 1317). That in the combined troops of the British legions, which in
the third century were led by L.Artorius Castus to fight the arm[oricani] at the Northern French coast (CIL III 1919
= 12791), were detachments of legion II Augusta is obvious. Just like in the vexillationes
Germanicianar et Britannici(a)narum that operated under Gallienus in Pannonia (CIL III 3228). A vexillatio of the
LEG SECVNDA AVGVSTA is also represented on a bronze disk from the third century. The
crest sign of Capricorn appears next to the vexillum (pictured by Cagnat Revue archeol.
1895, XXVI 213-220; the inscription CIL XV 7164). The habitat and purpose of the disc will not be discussed here.
[1464] If the silver casserole dish, which according to the inscription once belonged to the soldier C.
Didius Secundus of II Aug of the century of Marius (CIL XII 2355), really was put into the ground around the time of Gallienus
or later, to which conclusion the enclosed coins point, it would have changed owner a long time before, for that soldier belonged
to a not insignificant time earlier. It seems that II Augusta did not make coins with Gallienus (see also 1342). The legion
therefore didn’t support his side at that time. It also does not seem to have supported Victorinus. But coins exist
from the II Augusta which were made at the end of the third century with the usurper Carausius (286-293). The reverse of the
coins shows the inscription LEG II AUG. with the Capricorn, the crest animal of the legion (Cohen VII 2 p.16 nr.132,
Archaelogia Aeliana III Serie Vol. III 197, 223). His murderer and successor Allectus
appears on coins of the legion (Cohen VII 2 46 nr.24 and Numism. Chron.
III Series Bd. V 1885, 249 pictured). The inscription LEG II is strangely enough not connected here with the Capricorn, but
with a lion. A century later the legion appears under the command of the comes litoris
Saxonici per Brittaniam in the Notitia Dignitatum ( Not. dign. Occ. XXVIII 19).
But no longer stationed in Isca but in Rutupiae, the harbour at the Southeast coast of the island (see Teuber 29f). When it
was transferred, can’t be determined. Whether also the legion of the field army, II Brittanica, traces its origin back
to II Augusta, remains doubtful (see also nr.XXIII 1466).
