"In 69 AD, the Year of the Four Emperors, following the suicide of Nero, the legion took the part of Vitellius, one of the defeated emperors" This is wrong. The legion supported Otho, then Vespasian. See Gwyn Morgan, 69 A.D. : the year of the four emperors p. 190. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.56.108 (talk) 07:33, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
