This image depicts a close-up view of an ancient marble slab featuring a carved inscription related to the 10th Roman Legion in Armenia. The marble stone has an aged appearance with a slightly rough texture, illuminated by warm yellow light, which enhances the details of the carving and gives the slab a historic and atmospheric feel. The background is a clean, white setting that isolates the marble slab, allowing the viewer to focus solely on the inscription. The historical context of the inscription connects it to the Legio X, originally one of Julius Caesar's legions during his governorship of Cisalpine Gaul. The legion later followed Mark Antony on his Armenian campaign, fought in Antony's civil war, and was eventually integrated into Octavian's army. After a rebellion under Augustus, the legion was disbanded, stripped of its Equestris title, and reformed as X Gemina with soldiers from other legions. The inscription serves as a testament to the legion's complex history.
