Diskussion:Legio IIII Scythica
Gibt es einen bestimmten Grund warum es "Legio IIII" und nicht "Legio IV" heisst?
- Sieht mir aus wie der klassische Roemische-Zahlen-Fehler. Oder ist das gar beabsichtigt?
- Kein Fehler, sondern die in römischer Zeit übliche Schreibweise der Zahl 4, die sich auch etwa auf den meisten Inschriften findet.--StefanC 19:03, 21. Apr. 2008 (CEST)
Identifying the base of the Roman IV legion "Scythica" in "Tayyibe/Israel" (and erasing "Al-Taybah im Syrische Wüste") is clearly mistaken, eventhough ancient sources are not clear about the exact site of Oresa. I am afraid that there are no archaeological nor historical traces of such Roman military, or otherwise, base in the vicinity of Tayybeh, Israel. Furthermore, in Syria and in Israel there are several places called Taybeh or Tayyibe or Taibeh or Tayiba (the Arabic spelling of the name الطيّبة is always the same, but varies in transliteration to European languages). According to the Notitia Dignitatum (in partibus Orientis, XXXIII), both Legio IV Scythica and Legio XVI Flavia Firma were relocated from the upper Euphrates region, respectively, to the heart of Syria. It is quite obvious that the IV legion was stationed at the Al-Taybah Oasis in the Syrian Desert (Palmyra province), known to flourish in the first centuries AD also an important archaeological site. If you insist on Israel – you'll have 3 different Taybeh to choose from, not a single one of them had anything to do with the Roman eastern limes of the 4th century AD or with any part of the Roman-Persian front.
