I am puzzled pleasse explain ix ix ix ix ix ix ix ix lol .

Ever read the book the Eagle of the Ninth if so do you know where I can find it?

[Nerva]

That's Rosemary Sutcliff's book. It's a children's book so it should suit you right down to the ground

Seriously though, it's amazing what's labelled as a children's book. For instance, all of Peter Connelly's books are classed as such

well my Dad brought a irish daly mail home durining the week (which i cant find right now) and there was wright-up about a new movie in Scotland about the IX Hispaina Dissapering in 122AD. That is how i heard about it .

Well if it was in the Daily Mail it must be true. Bigoted bile rising incitement...but true....NOT.

I thought that the disappearance of the IXth was disputed as to where exactly it happened? i.e. Germany Vs Scotland Vs disbanded due to mutiny...
Of course this is based on web search stuff

Salvete Omnes!

Pullo is of course correct in his use of VIIII. The use of IX is much later. As for the ninth, well they were a very unfortunate legion. I think you'll find Syria is probably where they disappeared.
