07 Vespasian 7th Lucky Gemina Roman Legion T-shirt

This little-known Legion was founded in 67 by Servius Galba, then-Governor of Hispania Tarraconensis. Nero's position as Emperor had become untenable, and Galba seized the throne for himself and became Emperor. To avoid looking like a military usurper, he sent the Legion to gaurd the Danube at Pannonia before doing so. After the chaos of the next couple years, Emperor Vespasian reconstituted the Legion, adding soldiers from the disbanded I Germanica and giving it its 'Twin' surname. It served in Germania Superior, where it receieved its additional surname, 'Lucky'. A few years later it was sent back to Spain, based at Leon, where it stayed for centuries. Between 86-89, the Legion was commanded by future-Emperor Marcus Trajanus (Trajan). During the reign of Pius (138-61), the Legion was active in Mauretania against the Mauri. In 235 it was active in the Germanic War of Severus Alexander. The last knowledge of this Legion was that it was still at Leon at the end of the 4th century AD. It's likely that it was defeated and disbanded when the Visigoths and Vandals occupied Spain in 409. Its emblem is not known.

I give wanted to give this a 4 instead of a 5 because these Basic DARK T0shirts run unexpectedly SLIM or Narrow. Which is great if you do not have a potbelly, but I have a paunch. It isn't the shirt's fault that I've got a beer belly. The design and shirt itself is a quality cotton shirt. The color is more of a deep purple, but still a very pretty color. The Basic DARK T-shirts run a bit SLIMMER than the Basic Ts. The neck is a fraction narrower (or seems to be narrower) also. I'm a paunchy middle-aged woman and my neck is 12 inches (31cm) thick and the neckline fell about the same as in the photo of the man, and I had the desire to tug it a bit. So if you're a thick necked man or like loose shirts, be aware these are slimmer shirts. Once I get rid of my lockdown paunch it'll look great. The shirt washed well in cold water with no apparent bleeding. We don't have a dryer, so it hung dry. Did not shrink. Love the colors and the design. The design looks smaller on my shirt than it does on the model on-line. But still, it looks good on the shirt. The printing looks as it does on the model, just the size seems fractionally smaller. Washed garment in cold water, hung dry and design appeared unaffected.

I'm wearing this as I type... It's fab! Lovely quality. Soft material, perfect fit, nice and warm (It is very cold here, I live at the top of a hill and the wind is brutal in winter). Couldn't be happier with this. My Girlfriend really likes it as well - always a bonus! I was really impressed by how the printing turned out - my photo's don't do it justice. This is a complex design with a lot of colour variations but the finished article is really impressive. I couldn't be happier with how this has turned out. This is also one of my first designs to have been purchased by someone else (thank you so much!) I'm really curious to know what they think of the finished product...
