The Legio XIIII Gemina Martia Victrix was either levied by Julius Caesar in 57 BC or by Octavian in 41/40 BC. In 118/119 AD, she moved her headquarter to Carnuntum in Pannoniae, where she played a key role in the proclamation of the Pannonian governor Septimius Severus to emperor in 193 AD; an event commemorated by this Sestertius.
