Legio XVI Flavia Firma


Legio sexta decima Flavia firma was a legion of the Imperial Roman army. The legion was created by Emperor Vespasian in 70 from the remains of the XVI Gallica. The unit still existed in the 4th century, when it guarded the Euphrates border and camped in Sura. The emblem of the legion was a Pegasus, although earlier studies assumed it to have been a lion.
