Talk:Legio III Gallica

Stop using Livius.org as a credible source
Like really. Dude is messing stuff badly. He says that legions III and I were raised by Ceasar in 48 and used against Pompey in the Dyrrachium which is plain gibberish. We know which legions were transported with him from Italy to the Greece and I and III were not among them. The only recruit-legion that went with him was XVII, the rest were his veteran legions from Gallic wars. Why Livius is putting I and III into Dyrrachium? Because Pompey had HIS first and third in this battles. Totally diffrent units, that have NOTHING TO DO with Ceasar's consular series.

Livius org doesn't provide sources for his claims and when he do, it's always book of modern author (not actual ancient source that is needed) and always inaccessible in english. For this reason took me a while to understand how he got that I and III legion in Dyrrachium. He is not a source, nor he provides any for his claims, why is he cited here is beyond me
