Legio III Augusta was a Roman legion stationed in North Africa from the reign of Augustus into the 5th century. Based first at Ammaedara, then Theveste and from the 120s at Lambaesis in Numidia, it guarded the frontier and built roads and towns. Disbanded by Gordian III in 238 for its part in the fall of the Gordians, it was re-formed in 253.
