Legio septima Claudia Pia Fidelis (Seventh Claudian

Legion) was a

Roman legion

. Its emblem, as well as of all Caesar’s legions, was the bull,

together with the lion.[citation

The 7th, along with the

6th

,

8th

&

9th

were all founded by Pompey in Spain in 65 BC.

They were ordered to

Cisalpine Gaul

around 58 BC by

Julius Caesar

, and marched with him throughout the entire Gallic Wars.

Legio VII was one of the two legions used in

Caesar’s invasions of Britain

, and played a crucial role in The

Battle of Pharsalus

in 48 BC, and it existed at least until the end of the

4th century, guarding middle

Danube

.

Tiberius Claudius Maximus

the Roman soldier who brought the head of

Decebalus

to emperor

Trajan

was serving in Legio VII Claudia.

Gaius Vibius Volusianus (d. August, 253) was a

Roman emperor

(251 – 253).

He was son to

Gaius Vibius Trebonianus Gallus

by his wife

Afinia Gemina Baebiana

. He is known to have had a sister, Vibia Galla.

The death of Decius

in early June, 251 led to Trebonianus Gallus’ elevation to the

throne. Gallus adopted Decius’ son

Hostilian

and made him co-ruler. Volusianus was named

Caesar

and Princeps Juventutis. Later in 251 Hostilian died of the

plague

and Volusianus replaced him as

Augustus

and co-ruler.

Father and son were both killed in 253 by mutinous troops in

Interamna

.
