Legio XII Fulminata
Legio XII Fulminata, the 'Thunderbolt' legion, was a Roman legion traced back to the armies of Julius Caesar. From the later first century CE it was based at Melitene in Cappadocia, guarding the upper Euphrates frontier. Under Domitian a detachment reached the Caspian and left a Latin inscription at Gobustan near Baku, the easternmost Latin inscription known.
