Legio I Isaura Sagittaria
Legio I Isaura Sagitaria was a pseudocomitatensis Roman legion, the legion was probably created by emperor Probus.[1] It is possible that in the beginning it was used to defend the Isauria region, together with the II and III Isaura.[1] The legion campaigned against the tribes of Cilicia.[1] As its name suggests, its legionaries could be used also as archers, an uncommon feature for Roman legions. According to Notitia Dignitatum, in the beginning of the 5th century the I Isaura was under the command of the Magister Militum per Orientem.
