oh sorry i forgot it was in a specific part of the empire
Looks fantastic already, even though this project recently just lifted off.
I as a Dutchman myself, litterally am bouncing on my seat of exitement of this project.
I live where Lugdunum Batavorum used to be, and in my town (Katwijk aan Zee) we charish that Roman legacy very much, but most of all, we charish the legacy left by the Cananefates, as they are rumoured to be our ancestors.

Legio quinta Alaudae (Fifth Larks Legion) sometimes known as Gallica, was levied by Julius Caesar in 52 BC from native Gauls. Their emblem was an elephant, and their cognomen Alaudae came from the high crest on their helmets, typical of the Gauls, which made them look like larks. The French word "Alouette" is a direct descendant of "Alauda", itself not a proper Latin noun, but a loan word from Gaulish, possibly the first reason for the legionary name.
V Gallica was the first Roman legion composed of provincial soldiers, as opposed to Roman citizens. Caesar paid the soldiers with his own resources, but the legion was later recognized by the Roman Senate. V Alaudae fought in the Gallic Wars until 49 BC, as one of the bravest legions of Caesar, then they were moved to Spain. They served with Mark Antony between 41 BC and 31 BC and probably fought in Actium. After Antony committed suicide, they were merged into Augustus' army in 30 BC.
Legio V was involved in a mutiny on the Rhine in AD 14. [1]
Their emblem depicted an elephant and was awarded in 46 BC for bravery against a charge of elephants in the Battle of Thapsus.
Known locations for V Alaudae include:
Battle of Pharsalus: 48 BC
Battle of Uzita (Caesar African campaign against Pompeians): 47 BC
Battle of Thapsus: 46 BC
Battle of Munda: 45 BC
Battle of Forum Gallorum and Mutina: 43 BC
Battle of Philippi: 42 BC
Cantabrian Wars: 25 BC
Rhine frontier: 6AD to AD 69
First Battle of Bedriacum: 69, in Vitellius' army
The legion suffered heavy casualties in the Batavian rebellion in the year 70.
In 86 the Legio V Alaudae came to an end. Together with its commander, the Praetorian prefect Cornelius Fuscus, the legion perished at the First Battle of Tapae against the Dacians.

Legio quinta decima Primigenia (Fifteenth Firstborn Legion) - a name of the goddess Fortuna) was a legion of the Roman army.
It was originally levied by the emperor Caligula in 39, to aid in the Germanic campaigns and was stationed in the Rhine frontier until 70, when it was destroyed during the Batavian rebellion with the V Alaude. The cognomen Primigenia is derived from the goddess Fortuna.
