WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE TENTH LEGION

In case anyone is wondering, the significance of the Tenth Legion is that it was Julius Caesar's favorite legion that was personally recruited by him. It became his most fearsome legion in time and was always given the place of honor at the right end of Caesar's battle lines. The job of the 10th, along with Caesar's Germanic cavalry auxilary, was to smash the flank of the enemy and roll up their battle lines. The tenth never failed Caesar in this.
