Legio XIII Gemina can be thought of as one of Julius Caesar's legions that existed for more than four and a half centuries. Julius Caesar formed a Legio XIII in 57 B.C. as part of his army to conquer Gaul. The legion fought with Caesar at Gergovia in 52 B.C. and, during the Civil Wars, at Pharsalus (48 B.C.), Uzita (47 B.C.), and Thapsus (46 B.C.). Caesar discharged his veterans from Legio XIII in 45 B.C. and gave them plots of land where they could enjoy a well deserved retirement.

Wir - die Legio XV - sind eine Römergruppe aus Pram (OÖ), welche die "altösterreichische" - in Carnuntum (Petronell, NÖ) stationierte - Fünfzehnte Legion Apollinaris wieder zu neuem Leben erwachen lässt. Unter wissenschaftlicher Beratung wird das Leben und Kämpfen der römischen Legionäre Ende des 1. Jhdts. n.Chr. originalgetreu nachempfunden.
