Twenty-second Deiotaran Legio Levied approximately in 48 BC and disbanded after the Jewish Bar Kokhba revolt of 132–135. It was named after Deiotarus , the client Celtic king of the Tolistobogii tribe of Galatia. Deiotarus, during the Republican period, raised a number of legions trained by Romans. Then a single Roman Legio was formed after the annexation of Galatia in 48 BC. The XXII Deiotariana was not commanded by a senator, but by a Prefect from the equestrian-order, because the legio controlled the ports and supply depots for the all important grain in Eygpt. The figures are Black Tree Design, all based for Impetus, two of the 6 legio bases to come, waiting for more transfers.
Finally decided to sell off my Vikings and I am having a little clear out excess armies and figures in the coming weeks. They were last used as Vikings in a WAB tourney about 6 years ago or so before being rebased for impetus rules and even then I used them as Germans. Now part of crabbies collection!
