He disbanded those whose previous loyalties had brought them under suspicion, creating colonies of the veteran soldiers and forming new legions loyal to himself. The three imperial legions II, III and VIII, which are all entitled Augusta or 'Augustan', specifically identify them as formations during his principate.

The original emblem of Legio II was the Capricorn which was adopted to indicate its reconstruction by the Emperor. The Pegasus symbol was later awarded for its service in Britain under the future emperor Vespasian when the unit was known as 'Vespasian's Best'.
