The XX Legion

I'm currently in the UK for a brief vacation.  We stopped in Bath a couple of days ago and one of the exhibits talked about the XX Legion.  Their symbol was the boar and there is the remains of a carving as well as a re-creation of what it would have looked like when it was created.

An actual boar of the XXth Legion, recovered at Bath.
The Police sketch artist version of the boar.

    1. You mean it's not always like this? It's been amazing.

  2. I love Bath; when I was a kid, I got to swim in the Roman Baths, there, at night; very evocative. I like that boar...

    1. I do love Bath. Driving in it was a nightmare but the rest was awesome. I'm jealous that you actually got to swim there. That is a great claim to fame.
