STORY
The legion main theatre of operations was the Roman province of Noricum, on the south margin of the Danube, where Germanic incursions were frequent.
In 193, II Italica marched into Rome with Septimius Severus, then fighting for power. The new emperor awarded them the title of Fidelis (loyal) to acknowledge their support. Later Septimius Severus would use II Italica against the rebellions of Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus, and in his Parthian campaigns.
