Mostly A - XX Valeria Victrix

• Softie southerners need not apply to this legion of legends stationed in Northern Britain. After several successful wars against the Picts these brave boys spend their time on guard in the freezing fog of soggy Britain, and generally being well ‘ard.
  

Mostly B - III Augusta

• The legion for lovers, this is the place to be if you want to kick back in sunny North Africa and go on romantic dates with beautiful locals. Occasionally fighting with berbers.
  

Mostly C - X Gemina

• You’re obviously a creative type, so head to the area around the River Rhine in Germany and have to go to carpentry. The legion is currently building a series of wooden forts along the river.
  

Mostly D - VIII Augusta

• You live for the finer things in life, so get down to Argentoratum (Strasbourg in France). You won’t be expected to do much in the legion except eat the excellent local cuisine and drink wine. What could be better. 

If you answered an equal mix - pick the legion that sounds the best.
